Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 28, 2018, Mexco Energy Corporation (the “Company”), and West Texas National Bank (“WTNB”), as lender, entered into a loan agreement (the “Agreement”) which will provide for a credit facility of $1,000,000. The Agreement has no monthly commitment reduction and a borrowing base to be evaluated annually.

Under the Agreement, interest on the facility accrues at a rate equal to the prime rate as quoted in the Wall Street Journal plus one-half of one percent (.5%) floating daily. Interest on the outstanding amount under the Agreement is payable monthly. In addition, the Company will pay an unused commitment fee in an amount equal to one-half of one percent (.5%) times the daily average of the unadvanced amount of the commitment. The unused commitment fee is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter.

No principal payments are anticipated to be required through the maturity date of the loan, December 28, 2021. Upon closing with WTNB on the Agreement, the Company paid a .5% loan origination fee in the amount of $5,000 plus legal and recording expenses.

Amounts borrowed under the Agreement are collateralized by the common stock of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries and substantially all of the Company’s oil and gas properties.

The Agreement contains customary covenants for credit facilities of this type including limitations on change in control, disposition of assets, mergers and reorganizations. The Company is also obligated to meet certain financial covenants under the Agreement and requires senior debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) ratios (Senior Debt/EBITDA) less than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 measured with respect to the four trailing fiscal quarters and minimum interest coverage ratios (EBITDA/Interest Expense) of 2.00 to 1.00 for each quarter. The Company believes it will remain in compliance for the next fiscal year.

In addition, the Agreement prohibits the Company from paying cash dividends on its common stock without prior written permission of WTNB. The Agreement does not permit the Company to enter into hedge agreements covering crude oil and natural gas prices.

There is no balance outstanding on the line of credit.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 28, 2018, in connection with entering into the loan agreement with WTNB described in Item 1.01 above, the Company repaid in full and terminated its loan agreement between Bank of America, N.A. (“BOA”) and Mexco Energy Corporation dated December 31, 2008. The amount owed under the BOA agreement was repaid using Company funds. No early termination fees were incurred by the Company in connection with the termination of the BOA loan agreement.

ARTICLE 2

TERMS OF FACILITY

2.1 Advances and Terms of Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Lender agrees to make Advances to the Borrowers from time to time until the final maturity date of the Note, in such amounts as the Borrowers may request up to an amount not to exceed, in the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, the lesser of (i) the Commitment or (ii) the Borrowing Base then in effect. The obligations of the Borrowers hereunder shall be evidenced by this Loan Agreement and the Note issued in connection herewith. Irrespective of the face amount of the Note, the Lender shall never have the obligation to Advance any amount or amounts in excess of the Commitment or to increase the Commitment.

2.2 Payments Under the Note. The aggregate unpaid amount of the Loan reflected by the notations by the Lender on its records shall be deemed rebuttably presumptive evidence of the principal amounts owing on the Note. The liability for payment of principal and interest evidenced by the Note shall be limited to principal amounts actually advanced and outstanding pursuant to this Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents and interest accrued on such amounts calculated in accordance with this Loan Agreement and the Note.

6

2.3 Repayment Provisions. Interest, computed on the unpaid principal balance of the Note, shall be due and payable in monthly installments, with the first of such installments to be paid on January 28, 2019, and subsequent installments to be paid on the twenty-eighth day of each month thereafter. All of the outstanding principal and accrued, unpaid interest hereunder shall be due and payable in full on December 28, 2021, being the date of final maturity hereunder. All payments of principal and interest required under the Note shall be made in immediately available funds, and shall be made at Lender’s principal banking offices in Midland, Texas, provided, however, the Lender may, upon thirty (30) day’s written notice to the Borrowers, designate a different place of payment. If a payment under the Note is received by the Lender more than ten (10) days after it is due, the Borrowers agree to pay a late charge to the Lender equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount.

2.4 Interest Rates. The outstanding principal amount of the Note shall bear interest at the Applicable Rate, calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days. Should default occur in the payment of the Note and collection proceedings be instituted, all past due interest and principal under the Note shall bear interest at the Default Rate, calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days.

2.5 General Provisions Relating to Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with the applicable usury Laws as in effect from time to time; and in this connection, there shall never be taken, reserved, contracted for, collected, charged or received on any Loan or any other Obligations interest in excess of that which would accrue at the Highest Lawful Rate. For purposes of Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended, the Borrowers agree that the Highest Lawful Rate shall be the “weekly rate ceiling” as defined in such chapter, provided that the Lender may also rely, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, on alternative maximum rates of interest under such other applicable Laws, if greater.

If under any circumstances the aggregate amount paid on the Obligations includes amounts that are by Law deemed to be interest which exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (the “excess interest”), the Borrowers and the Lender stipulate that such payment and collection will have been and will be deemed to have been, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, the result of mathematical error on the part of the Borrowers and the Lender, and the Lender shall promptly credit the amount of such excess interest on the principal amount of the outstanding Obligations, or if the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund the excess interest to the Borrowers, as applicable. In the event that the maturity of the Note is accelerated by reason of an election of the Lender resulting from any Event of Default, or in the event of any prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under Laws applicable to the Lender may never exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and excess interest, if any, provided for in the Note, this Loan Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by the Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by the Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations, or if the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded by the Lender to the Borrowers, as applicable.

All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Lender for the use, forbearance, and detention of the proceeds of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full term of the Obligations until paid in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform, but does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, throughout the full term hereof.

7

2.6 Voluntary Prepayment. The Borrowers shall have the right and option to prepay, at any time without premium or penalty, all or any part of the Debt evidenced by the Note. Any such prepayments shall be applied first to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest thereon and then to the reduction of principal.

2.7 Borrowing Base.

(a) Borrowing Base Standards. The “Borrowing Base” shall represent the Lender’s determination, in its sole discretion, of the loan amount that may be supported by the Lender’s evaluation of the proved oil and gas properties of the Borrowers. The determination of the Borrowing Base will be made in accordance with then-current practices, economic and pricing parameters, methodology, assumptions, and customary procedures and standards established by the Lender from time to time for its petroleum industry customers, including, without limitation (i) an analysis of such reserve and production data with respect to all of the proved oil and gas properties of the Borrowers as is provided to the Lender in accordance herewith, (ii) an analysis of the assets, liabilities, cash flow, business, properties, prospects, management and ownership of the Borrowers, (iii) the Borrowers’ commodity hedging transactions, and (iv) such other credit factors consistently applied as the Lender customarily considers in evaluating similar oil and gas credit facilities. The Borrowers and the Lender acknowledge that due to the uncertainties of the oil and gas extraction process, the oil and gas properties of the Borrowers are not subject to evaluation with a high degree of accuracy and are subject to potential rapid deterioration in value, and that the determination of the loan amount will be less than the total present value of the proved oil and gas properties of the Borrowers, which the Borrowers’ acknowledge to be essential for the adequate protection of the Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, the Lender may exclude any oil and gas reserves or portion of production therefrom or any income from any property from the Borrowing Base, at any time, because title information is not satisfactory, such oil and gas reserves are not subject to a Bank Lien or such oil and gas reserves are not in “pay” status. Subject to any redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.7(b) or Section 2.7(c), the initial Borrowing Base shall be $1,000,000.00 during the period from the date hereof to the date of the first redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.7(b) or Section 2.7(c), and thereafter the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be the Borrowing Base most recently determined pursuant to Section 2.7(b) or Section 2.7(c), as applicable.

(b) Periodic Redeterminations of Borrowing Base.

(i) The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined as of July 30 of each year until the final maturity date of the Note. On or before June 30 of each year, the Borrowers shall furnish the Lender an acceptable engineering report audited by an independent petroleum engineer acceptable to the Lender (and the Lender hereby approves Russell K. Hall & Associates as an acceptable independent petroleum engineer) as of the preceding March 31 covering all of the proved oil and gas properties of the Borrowers. Upon receipt of each such engineering report, the Lender shall make a determination of the Borrowing Base which shall become effective upon written notification from the Lender to the Borrowers, and which, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be the Borrowing Base until the effective date of the next redetermination as provided in this Section 2.7.

8

(ii) In the event that the Borrowers do not furnish to the Lender an engineering report by the date specified in Section 2.7(b)(i), then the Lender may nonetheless redetermine the Borrowing Base and redesignate the Borrowing Base from time to time thereafter in its sole discretion until the Lender receives the relevant engineering report, whereupon the Lender shall redetermine the Borrowing Base as otherwise specified in this Section 2.7.

(c) Special Redeterminations of Borrowing Base. Special redeterminations of the Borrowing Base may be requested by the Lender at any time during the term hereof. If any special redetermination is requested by the Lender, the Borrowers will provide the Lender with engineering data for the oil and gas reserves updated from the most recent engineering report furnished to the Lender, as soon as is reasonably possible following the request, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such request. The determination whether to increase or decrease the Borrowing Base shall be made in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.7(a). ln the event of any special redetermination of the Borrowing Base pursuant to this Section, the Lender in the exercise of its discretion may suspend the next regularly scheduled redetermination of the Borrowing Base. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event the principal amount outstanding under the Note exceeds sixty-five percent (65.0%) of the lesser of (i) the Commitment or (ii) the Borrowing Base then in effect, at any time and from time to time (x) the Lender may request a redetermination of the Borrowing Base under this Section 2.7(c), and (y) the Lender may require the Borrowing Base to be redetermined under Section 2.7(b) semi-annually as of July 30 and January 31 of each year until the earlier of (A) the final maturity date of the Note, or (B) such time that the principal amount outstanding under the Note is less than sixty-five percent (65.0%) of the lesser of (i) the Commitment or (ii) the Borrowing Base then in effect, in which case on or before June 30 and December 31 of each year, the Borrowers shall furnish the Lender an acceptable engineering report in accordance with Section 2.7(b) as of the preceding March 31 and the preceding September 30, respectively, covering all of the proved oil and gas properties of the Borrowers and the Lender will determine whether to increase or decrease the Borrowing Base in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.7(a), and which redetermined Borrowing Base shall become effective upon written notification from the Lender to the Borrowers, and which, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, shall be the Borrowing Base until the effective date of the next redetermination as provided in this Section 2.7. Without limiting any other term or provision contained in this Loan Agreement, the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that in the event the Lender’s due diligence with respect to the Collateral, whether conducted before, on or subsequent to the date of this Loan Agreement, reveals any Liens, title issues, title defects or other matters affecting the Collateral which were not known to the Lender as of the execution date of this Loan Agreement, that the Lender may request a redetermination of the Borrowing Base under this Section 2.7(c).

9

(d) Borrowing Base Deficiency.

(i) If the principal amount outstanding under the Note exceeds the amount of the Borrowing Base because of a periodic or special redetermination made pursuant to Section 2.7(b) or Section 2.7(c), then the Lender shall send a Borrowing Base deficiency notice to the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall within ten (10) days following receipt of such Borrowing Base deficiency notice elect by written notice to the Lender whether to (A) prepay an amount which would, if prepaid immediately, reduce the principal amount outstanding under the Note to the amount of the Borrowing Base, (B) execute one or more mortgages or deeds of trust, in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender, covering such other oil and gas properties not previously taken into account in the redetermination of the Borrowing Base as are acceptable to the Lender having present values which, in the opinion of the Lender, based upon the Lender’s evaluation of the engineering data provided it, taken in the aggregate are sufficient to increase the Borrowing Base to an amount at least equal to the principal amount outstanding under the Note, or (C) do any combination of the foregoing as is acceptable to the Lender. If the Borrowers fail to deliver their written election to the Lender within ten (10) days after the Borrowers’ receipt of the Borrowing Base deficiency notice, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected the prepayment option specified in clause (A) above.

(ii) The Borrowers shall deliver such prepayments or mortgages or deeds of trust of additional oil and gas properties in accordance with their election (or deemed election) pursuant to Section 2.7(d)(i) as follows:

(A) Prepayment Elections.

THE PARTIES HERETO INTEND FOR THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH TO APPLY TO AND PROTECT EACH INDEMNIFIED PARTY FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED OR THREATENED TO BE IMPOSED ON ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY AS WELL AS FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF ITS OWN NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER OR NOT THAT NEGLIGENCE IS THE SOLE, CONTRIBUTING OR CONCURRING CAUSE OF ANY CLAIMS INDEMNIFIED AGAINST IN THIS PARAGRAPH.

5.10 Curing of Defects. The Borrowers will promptly cure any defects in the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, and in any other instrument or document referred to or mentioned herein or therein. The Borrowers will immediately execute and deliver to the Lender, upon request, all such other and further instruments as may be reasonably required or desired by the Lender from time to time in compliance with or accomplishment of the covenants and agreements of the Borrowers made in the Loan Documents.

5.11 Inspection and Visitation. The Borrowers will grant the Lender and its agents and representatives access to all of their books and records and allow inspection and copying of same, as applicable, by the Lender or its designated representatives at any time during normal business hours or such other time as the Lender may reasonably request. The Borrowers will permit the Lender and its agents and representatives to enter and visit, at any reasonable time, after giving reasonable notice to the Borrowers, the real property Collateral and any other locations where any personal property Collateral securing this Loan Agreement is located, for the purposes of observing the Collateral, taking and removing environmental samples, and conducting tests on any part of the Collateral. The Borrowers shall reimburse the Lender on demand for the costs of any such environmental investigation and testing. The Lender will make reasonable efforts during any site visit, observation or testing conducted pursuant this paragraph to avoid interfering with the Borrowers’ use of the real property and personal property Collateral. The Lender is under no duty, however, to visit or observe the real property or the personal property Collateral or to conduct tests, and any such acts by the Lender will be solely for the purposes of protecting the Lender’s security and preserving the Lender’s rights under this Loan Agreement. No site visit, observation or testing or any report or findings made as a result thereof (“Environmental Report”) (a) will result in a waiver of any default of the Borrowers; (b) impose any liability on the Lender; or (c) be a representation or warranty of any kind regarding the real property or the personal property Collateral (including, without limitation, its condition or value or compliance with any laws) or the Environmental Report (including, without limitation, its accuracy or completeness). In the event the Lender has a duty or obligation under applicable laws, regulations or other requirements to disclose an Environmental Report to the Borrowers or any other party, the Borrowers authorize the Lender to make such a disclosure. The Lender may also disclose an Environmental Report to any regulatory authority, and to any other parties as necessary or appropriate in the Lender’s judgment. The Borrowers further understand and agree that any Environmental Report or other information regarding a site visit, observation or testing that is disclosed to the Borrowers by the Lender or its agents and representatives is to be evaluated (including, without limitation, any reporting or other disclosure obligations of the Borrowers) by the Borrowers without advice or assistance from the Lender.

22

5.12 Compliance. The Borrowers will observe and comply with:

(a) all laws, statutes, codes, acts, ordinances, rules, regulations, directions and requirements of all federal, state, county, municipal and other governments, departments, commissions, boards, courts, authorities, officials and officers, domestic and foreign, where the failure to observe or comply could cause a Material Adverse Effect; and

(b) all orders, judgments, decrees, injunctions, certificates, franchises, permits, licenses and authorizations of all federal, state, county, municipal and other governments, departments, commissions, boards, courts, authorities, officials and officers, domestic and foreign, where the failure to observe or comply could cause a Material Adverse Effect.

5.13 Compliance with Environmental Laws. The Borrowers are and will remain in compliance in all material respects with all state and federal environmental laws and regulations, and no Borrower will place or permit to be placed any Hazardous Substances on any of its Properties in violation of applicable state and federal environmental laws. In the event any Borrower should discover any Hazardous Substances on any of its Properties which could result in a breach of the foregoing covenant, it shall notify the Lender within three (3) days after such discovery. Each Borrower shall dispose of all material amounts of Hazardous Substances generated by it only at facilities and/or with carriers that maintain valid governmental permits under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. §6901, or successor statute(s). In the event of any notice or filing of any complaint or commencement of any administrative hearing or procedure against any Borrower alleging a violation of any environmental law or regulation, the Borrowers shall give notice to the Lender within five (5) days after any Borrower has received notice of such notice or filing.

(a) The acceptance by the Lender at any time and from time to time of part payment on the Obligations shall not operate as a waiver of any Event of Default then existing.

(b) No waiver by the Lender of any Event of Default shall operate as a waiver of any other then existing or subsequent Event of Default.

(c) No delay or omission by the Lender in exercising any Rights shall impair such Rights or operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such Rights preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other Rights under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

(b) All conditions to the obligation of the Lender to make Advances hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Lender, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that the Lender will make or refuse to make Advances in the absence of strict compliance therewith, and any or all of such conditions may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Lender at any time if the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems it advisable to do so.

33

8.11 Delegation by Lender. The Lender may perform any of its duties or exercise any of its Rights by or through its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or other representatives.

8.12 Setoff. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Lender (and to each participant to whom the Lender has conveyed or may hereafter convey a participation in the Note) the right of setoff to secure payment of the Obligations upon any and all moneys, securities or other Property of the Borrowers and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by or in transit to, the Lender or any such participant or any agent of the Lender or such participant, from or for the account of the Borrowers, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or specific) and credits of the Borrowers and any and all claims of the Borrowers against the Lender or any such participant at any time existing. Any such setoff may be made without prior notice to the Borrowers or to any other party, any such notice being waived by the Borrowers to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers after any such setoff and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

8.13 Additional Documents. It is contemplated that there may be certain supplementary and/or corrective mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements and similar items prepared by the Lender to be executed by the Borrowers subsequent hereto, as well as certain other corrective and additional documentation not executed concurrently with this Loan Agreement because of the unavailability of information such as property and collateral descriptions at the time of the execution hereof. The Borrowers hereby agree to cooperate with the Lender and provide such information in connection therewith as the Lender may reasonably request, and to execute and deliver such other and further documentation as the Lender shall reasonably request so as to provide the Lender with a Bank Lien on the Collateral and such other assets of the Borrowers as the Lender may request.

8.14 Counterparts. This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

34

8.18 Conflicts. In the event that there exists any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Loan Agreement and the terms of any other Loan Document, the terms of this Loan Agreement shall govern and control, provided that the fact that any representation, warranty or covenant contained in any other Loan Document is not contained herein shall not be, or be deemed to be, a conflict or inconsistency.

8.19 Entirety. This Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement among the parties and supersede and supplant all prior agreements and understandings with respect to the matters contained herein.

8.20 Participations. The Lender may at any time, or from time to time, sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons a participation in all or any part of the Obligations, in which event each such other participant shall be entitled to the rights and benefits under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents. It is understood and agreed that the Lender may provide to participants and prospective participants financial information and reports and data concerning the Borrowers and their properties and operations as have been provided to the Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement.

8.21 USA Patriot Act Notice. The Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

8.22 Joint and Several Liability.

(a) Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Lender for the payment of all Obligations arising under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and that such liability is independent of the obligations of the other Borrower(s). Each obligation, promise, covenant, representation and warranty in this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been made by, and be binding upon, each Borrower, unless this Loan Agreement or such other Loan Document expressly provides otherwise. The Lender may bring an action against any Borrower, whether an action is brought against the other Borrower(s).

(b) Each Borrower agrees that any release which may be given by the Lender to the other Borrower(s) or any guarantor will not release such Borrower from its obligations under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(c) Each Borrower waives any right to assert against the Lender any defense, setoff, counterclaim, or claims which such Borrower may have against the other Borrower(s) or any other party liable to the Lender for the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d) Each Borrower waives any defense by reason of any other Borrower’s or any other Person’s defense, disability, or release from liability. The Lender can exercise its rights against each Borrower even if any other Borrower or any other Person no longer is liable because of a statute of limitations or for other reasons.

35

(e) Each Borrower agrees that it is solely responsible for keeping itself informed as to the financial condition of the other Borrower(s) and of all circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment. Each Borrower waives any right it may have to require the Lender to disclose to such Borrower any information which the Lender may now or hereafter acquire concerning the financial condition of the other Borrower(s).

(f) Each Borrower waives all rights to notices of default or nonperformance by any other Borrower under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. Each Borrower further waives all rights to notices of the existence or the creation of new indebtedness by any other Borrower and all rights to any other notices to any party liable on any of the credit extended under this Loan Agreement or under any other Loan Document.

(g) The Borrowers represent and warrant to the Lender that each will derive benefit, directly and indirectly, from the collective administration and availability of credit under this Loan Agreement. The Borrowers agree that the Lender will not be required to inquire as to the disposition by any Borrower of funds disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(h) Until all obligations of the Borrowers to the Lender under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been paid in full and any commitments of the Lender or facilities provided by the Lender under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been terminated, each Borrower (i) waives any right of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution (contractual, statutory or otherwise), including, without limitation, any claim or right of subrogation under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any successor statute, which such Borrower may now or hereafter have against any other Borrower with respect to the indebtedness incurred under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Lender now has or may hereafter have against any other Borrower, and (iii) waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Lender.

(i) Each Borrower waives any right to require the Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person, to proceed against or exhaust any security, or to pursue any other remedy. Further, each Borrower consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Borrowers under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of a Borrower.

8.23 Notice of Final Agreement.

Exhibit I

Form of Note

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT PROMISSORY NOTE

$1,000,000.00   December ___, 2018

1. For value received, MEXCO ENERGY CORPORATION, a Colorado corporation (“Mexco”), FORMAN ENERGY CORPORATION, a New York corporation (“Forman”), SOUTHWEST TEXAS DISPOSAL CORPORATION, a Texas corporation (“Southwest”), and TBO OIL & GAS, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“TBO”, and together with Mexco, Forman and Southwest, collectively, the “Makers” or individually a “Maker”), jointly and severally, promise to pay to the order of WEST TEXAS NATIONAL BANK, a national bank (the “Lender”), at its offices at 6 Desta Dr., Suite 2400, Midland, Texas 79705, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of ONE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00), or so much thereof as may be advanced and outstanding at any time or from time to time pursuant to the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined), together with interest on the principal amount from time to time outstanding hereunder, from the date of the disbursement of such principal until maturity, at an annual rate of interest which shall from day to day be equal to the lesser of (a) the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate in effect on such date (calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed, but computed as if each calendar year consisted of 360 days), plus one half of one percent (0.50%), or (b) the Highest Lawful Rate; provided, however, all past due principal and interest on this Note will bear interest from the maturity thereof until paid, at the Default Rate, as defined in the Loan Agreement.

2. This Note is executed pursuant to the terms of that certain Loan Agreement, dated of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”), by and among the Makers, as borrowers, and Lender, as lender. This Note incorporates by reference the terms of the Loan Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Note and the terms of the Loan Agreement, the terms of the Loan Agreement will be deemed to be controlling. Capitalized terms not defined in this Note shall have the meaning given to such terms in the Loan Agreement. This is a Revolving Line of Credit Promissory Note. Accordingly, it is contemplated that there will be Advances and payments on this Note from time to time, but no Advances or payments (including total payment of the unpaid principal balance outstanding prior to maturity) shall affect or impair the validity or enforceability of this Note as to future Advances hereunder. Notwithstanding the face amount of this Note, in no event shall the outstanding principal amount of all Advances made hereunder at any time exceed the lesser of (i) the Commitment or (ii) the Borrowing Base then in effect. Reference is made to the Loan Agreement for further statements regarding the obligation of Lender to make Advances hereunder.

3. Interest, computed on the unpaid principal balance of this Note, shall be due and payable in monthly installments, with the first of such installments to be paid on January ___, 2019, and subsequent installments to be paid on the __________ day of each month thereafter. All of the outstanding principal and accrued, unpaid interest hereunder shall be due and payable in full on December ___, 2021, being the date of final maturity hereunder. All payments of principal and interest required under this Note shall be made in immediately available funds, and shall be made at Lender’s principal banking offices in Midland, Texas, provided, however, the Lender may, upon thirty (30) day’s written notice to the Makers, designate a different place of payment. If a payment under this Note is received by the Lender more than ten (10) days after it is due, the Makers agree to pay a late charge to the Lender equal to five percent (5%) of the delinquent amount.

38

4. If an Event of Default should occur under the terms of the Loan Agreement, thereupon at the option of Lender, the principal balance and accrued interest of this Note will become and be due and payable forthwith without presentment, demand, notice of default, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, notice of nonpayment, notice of acceleration or the intent to accelerate, or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Maker and each other liable party. Lender may waive any default without waiving any prior or subsequent default.

5. To the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, Makers will pay all costs and expenses and reimburse Lender for any and all expenditures of every character incurred or expended from time to time, regardless of whether a default or Event of Default will have occurred, in connection with Lender exercising any of its rights and remedies under this or any other instrument now or hereafter securing the indebtedness evidenced hereby or at Law, including, without limitation, all filing fees, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, title review and abstract fees, Uniform Commercial Code search fees, other fees and expenses incident to title searches, reports and security interests, escrow fees, attorneys’ fees, legal expenses, and court costs, provided, however, that no right or option granted by Makers or Lender or otherwise arising pursuant to any provision of this or any other instrument will be deemed to impose or admit a duty on Lender to supervise, monitor or control any aspect of the character or condition of the assets of Makers or any operations conducted in connection with it for the benefit of any Maker or any other person or entity other than Lender.

6. If this Note is not paid at maturity whether by acceleration or otherwise and is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or suit is filed hereon, or proceedings are had in probate, bankruptcy, receivership, reorganization, arrangement or other legal proceedings for collection hereof, Makers and each other liable party agree to pay Lender its collection costs, including a reasonable amount for attorneys’ fees, but in no event to exceed the maximum amount permitted by Law. Each Maker and each other liable party are and will be directly and primarily, jointly and severally, liable for the payment of all sums called for hereunder, and each Maker and each other liable party hereby expressly waive bringing of suit and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing hereon and in the handling of any security, and each Maker and each other liable party hereby consent to and agree to remain liable hereon regardless of any renewals, extensions for any period or rearrangements hereof, or partial prepayments hereon, or any release or substitution of security hereof, in whole or in part, with or without notice, from time to time, before or after maturity.

7. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with the applicable usury Laws as in effect from time to time; and in this connection, there shall never be taken, reserved, contracted for, collected, charged or received on this Note or any other Obligations interest in excess of that which would accrue at the Highest Lawful Rate. For purposes of Chapter 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended, the Makers agree that the Highest Lawful Rate shall be the “weekly rate ceiling” as defined in such chapter, provided that the Lender may also rely, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, on alternative maximum rates of interest under such other applicable Laws, if greater.

39

If under any circumstances the aggregate amount paid on the Obligations includes amounts that are by Law deemed to be interest which exceed the Highest Lawful Rate (the “Excess Interest”), the Makers and the Lender stipulate that such payment and collection will have been and will be deemed to have been, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, the result of mathematical error on the part of the Makers and the Lender, and the Lender shall promptly credit the amount of such Excess Interest on the principal amount of the outstanding Obligations, or if the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund the Excess Interest to the Makers. In the event that the maturity of this Note is accelerated by reason of an election of the Lender resulting from any Event of Default, or in the event of any prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under Laws applicable to the Lender may never exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, and Excess Interest, if any, provided for in this Note, the Loan Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically by the Lender as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by the Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations, or if the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded by the Lender to the Makers.

All sums paid, or agreed to be paid, to the Lender for the use, forbearance, and detention of the proceeds of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full term of the Obligations until paid in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform, but does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, throughout the full term hereof.

8. Makers reserve the option of prepaying the principal of this Note, in whole or in part, at any time after the date hereof without penalty. At the option of Lender, it may demand (at any time at or after prepayment) all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the principal amount prepaid through the date of prepayment. All amounts of principal so prepaid and received by the owner and holder of this Note will be applied to the last maturing installments of this Note in their inverse order of maturity.

9. This Note is secured by the Security Documents described in the Loan Agreement.

10. Lender reserves the right, exercisable in Lender’s sole discretion and without notice to Makers or any other person, to sell participations, to assign its interest or both, in all or any part of this Note or the debt evidenced by this Note.

11. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas, except to the extent the location or nature of the collateral securing this Note requires the application of the Laws of other jurisdictions to be applied as to matters of creation, perfection and priority of liens and the rights of Lender upon default.

12. By execution of this Note, each Maker acknowledges the receipt of the following notices from Lender:

“THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THIS NOTE, AND ALL OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED HEREWITH TOGETHER CONSTITUTE A WRITTEN LOAN AGREEMENT WHICH REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.”

“THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES.”
