Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 31, 2014 , The Goldfield Corporation (the “Company”), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, collectively, (the “Debtors”), and Branch Banking and Trust Company (“BB&T”) entered into a Master Loan Agreement (the “Master Loan Agreement”). The Master Loan Agreement replaces all previous BB&T loan agreements. The Master Loan Agreement restates the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the previous Master Loan Agreement originally entered into on December 16, 2013, and as described in the Company's Form 8-K filed on December 18, 2013, which description is incorporated herein by reference, except for (i) the addition of the wholly owned subsidiary C and C Power Line Inc. (“C&C”) as a party to the Master Loan Agreement, and (ii) the addition of a $10 million equipment loan (the “$10.0 Million Equipment Loan”) and a $3.5 million acquisition loan (the “$3.5 Million Acquisition Loan”). It is anticipated that all the borrowings under the $10.0 Million Equipment Loan will be taken down over the next twenty-four (24) months, as permitted under the terms of the loan. The $3.5 Million Acquisition Loan was funded in its entirety on February 4, 2014.
The $10.0 Million Equipment Loan is for purchases of equipment and vehicles to be owned by the Company and its subsidiaries and any borrowings thereunder will mature on July 28, 2020. Accrued interest on any borrowings thereunder is payable monthly commencing on February 28, 2014, (or such later date as any borrowings occur) until January 28, 2016. Commencing on February 28, 2016, payments of principal in the amount of 1/54 th of the principal balance outstanding as of January 28, 2016, plus accrued interest will be made each month thereafter, with one final payment of all remaining principal and accrued interest due on July 28, 2020.
The $3.5 Million Acquisition Loan represented the partial financing of the acquisition of C&C and matures on January 28, 2019. Principal payments of $58,350.00, plus accrued interest will be made commencing on February 28, 2014, and monthly thereafter through December 28, 2018, with one final payment of all remaining principal and accrued interest due on January 28, 2019.
Both the $10.0 Million Equipment Loan and the $3.5 Million Acquisition Loan bear interest at a rate per annum equal to One Month LIBOR (as defined in the Ancillary Loan Documents) plus 2.00%, which will be adjusted monthly and subject to a maximum rate of 24.00%, provided however, that upon receipt in 2014 of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pricing will be based on the following table:
Leverage Ratio
Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans and Letter of Credit Fees
< 1.0x  
 1.0x but < 1.5x  
 1.5x but < 2.0x  
 2.0x but < 2.5x  
 2.5x but < 3.0x
175.0 bps
200.0 bps
225.0 bps
250.0 bps
275.0 bps
“Leverage ratio” means total liability to tangible net worth. Pricing will be adjusted on a quarterly basis based on the table above and the Company’s quarterly financial reports with any interest rate changes taking effect in the month following receipt of the quarterly financial reports. These borrowings are guaranteed by the Debtors.
The obligations under the new $10.0 Million Equipment Loan and the $3.5 Million Acquisition Loan are secured by a continuing security interest in the personal property of the Company and the Debtors, as more fully described in the Company's Form 8-K filed on December 18, 2013, which description is incorporated herein by reference.





The foregoing descriptions of the Master Loan Agreement, the two new loans and the Ancillary Loan Documents do not purport to summarize all of the provisions of these documents and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the loan documents filed herewith as Exhibits 10-1 through 10-9 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, with each of the foregoing incorporated herein by reference.

Address: 1684 W Hibiscus Blvd., Melbourne, FL 32901

Note Number: 00003

Date: January 31, 2014


THE UNDERSIGNED REPRESENTS THAT THE LOAN EVIDENCED HEREBY IS BEING OBTAINED FOR BUSINESS/COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. For value received, the undersigned, jointly and severally, if more than one, promises to pay to BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY , a North Carolina banking corporation (the Bank ), or order, at any of Bank s offices in the above referenced city (or such other place or places as may be hereafter designated by Bank), the sum of TEN MILLION AND 00/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00), in immediately available coin or currency of the United States of America.

Interest shall accrue from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance outstanding from time to time at the:
See Addendum to Promissory Note attached hereto.

Principal and Interest are payable as follows:

Accrued interest is payable monthly commencing on February 28, 2014, and continuing on the same day of each calendar period thereafter, until January 28, 2016, at which time principal and interest shall be paid as follows:

1.      Commencing February 28, 2016 and each month thereafter through and including June 28, 2020, monthly principal payments in the amount of 1/54 th  of the principal balance outstanding as of January 28, 2016 , plus accrued interest;


2.     On July 28, 2020 the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable.

The undersigned shall pay to Bank a late fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of any installment past due for ten (10) or more days. When any installment payment is past due for ten (10) or more days, subsequent payments shall first be applied to the past due balance. In addition, the undersigned shall pay to Bank a returned payment fee if the undersigned or any other Obligor hereon makes any payment at any time by check or other instrument, or by any electronic means, which is returned to Bank because of nonpayment due to nonsufficient funds.

All interest shall be computed and charged for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days. In the event periodic accruals of interest shall exceed any periodic fixed payment amount described above, the fixed payment amount shall be immediately increased, or additional supplemental interest payments required on the same periodic basis as specified above (increased fixed payments or supplemental payments to be determined in the Bank's sole discretion), in such amounts and at such times as shall be necessary to pay all accruals of interest for the period and all accruals of unpaid interest from previous periods. Such adjustments to the fixed payment amount or supplemental payments shall remain in effect for so long as the interest accruals shall exceed the original fixed payment amount and shall be further adjusted upward or downward to reflect changes in the variable interest rate; provided that unless elected otherwise above, the fixed payment amount shall not be reduced below the original fixed payment amount. However, Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to lower the fixed payment amount below the original payment amount.

Florida documentary stamp tax is not required.

This note ("NOTE") is given by the undersigned in connection with the following agreements (if any) between the undersigned and the Bank:
Security Agreement granting a security interest to Bank of even date, given by Borrower.
Master Loan Agreement of even date, executed by Borrower and Guarantors.
The above - described documents executed in connection with this Note are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Agreements.
No delay or omission on the part of the holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or of any other right on any future occasion. Every one of the undersigned and every endorser or guarantor of this note regardless of the time, order or place of signing waives presentment, demand, protest and notices of every kind and assents to any one or more extensions or postponements of the time of payment or any other indulgences, to any substitutions, exchanges or releases of collateral if at any time there be available to the holder of collateral for this note, and to the additions or releases of any other parties or persons primarily or secondarily liable.
The failure to pay any part of the principal or interest when due on this Note or to fully perform any covenant, obligation or warranty on this or on any other liability to the Bank by any one or more of the undersigned, by any affiliate of the undersigned (as defined in 11 USC Section (101) (2)), or by any guarantor or surety of this Note (said affiliate, guarantor, or surety are herein called Obligor); or if any financial statement or other representation made to the Bank by any of the undersigned or any Obligor shall be found to be materially incorrect or incomplete; or if any of the undersigned shall fail to furnish information to the Bank sufficient to



verify the identity of the undersigned as required under the USA Patriot Act; or in the event of a default under any of the Agreements or any other obligation of any of the undersigned or any Obligor; or in the event the Bank demands that the undersigned secure or provide additional security for its obligations under this Note and security deemed adequate and sufficient by the Bank is not given when demanded; or in the event one or more of the undersigned or any Obligor shall die, terminate its existence, allow the appointment of a receiver for any part of its property, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or where a proceeding under bankruptcy or insolvency laws is initiated by or against any of the undersigned or any Obligor; or in the event the Bank should otherwise deem itself, its security interest, or any collateral unsafe or insecure; or should the Bank in good faith believe that the prospect of payment or other performance is impaired; or if there is an attachment, execution, or other judicial seizure of all or any portion of the Borrower's or any Obligor's assets, including an action or proceeding to seize any funds on deposit with the Bank, and such seizure is not discharged within 20 days; or if final judgment for the payment of money shall be rendered against the Borrower or any Obligor which is not covered by insurance or debt cancellation and shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 days unless such judgment or execution thereon is effectively stayed; or the termination of any guaranty agreement given in connection with this Note, then any one of the same shall be a material default hereunder and this Note and other debts due the Bank by any one or more of undersigned shall immediately become due and payable at the option of the Bank without notice or demand of any kind, which are hereby waived. From and after any event of default hereunder, interest shall accrue on the sum of the principal balance and accrued interest then outstanding at the variable rate equal to the Bank's Prime Rate plus 5% per annum ("Default Rate") until such principal and interest have been paid in full, provided that such rate shall not exceed at any time the highest rate of interest permitted by the laws of the State of Florida; and further provided that such rate shall also apply after judgement. In addition, upon default, the Bank may pursue its full legal remedies at law or equity, and the balance due hereunder may be charged against any obligation of the Bank to any party including any Obligor. Bank shall not be obligated to accept any check, money order, or other payment instrument marked "payment in full" on any disputed amount due hereunder, and Bank expressly reserves the right to reject all such payment instruments. Borrower agrees that tender of its check or other payment instrument so marked will not satisfy or discharge its obligation under this Note, disputed or otherwise, even if such check or payment instrument is inadvertently processed by Bank unless in fact such payment is in fact sufficient to pay the amount due hereunder.

WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY MATTERS OR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY LOAN DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR OUT OF THE CONDUCT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND BANK. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BANK TO MAKE THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE. FURTHER, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY CERTIFY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF BANK, NOR BANK'S COUNSEL, HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT BANK WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF BANK, NOR BANK'S COUNSEL, HAS THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE, CONDITION OR MODIFY THIS PROVISION.

Unless otherwise required under a Loan Agreement, if applicable, and as long as any indebtedness evidenced by this Note remains outstanding or as long as Bank remains obligated to make advances, the undersigned shall furnish annually an updated financial statement in a form satisfactory to Bank, which, when delivered shall be the property of the Bank.

The term "Prime Rate," if used herein, means the rate of interest per annum announced by the Bank from time to time and adopted as its Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is one of several rate indexes employed by the Bank when extending credit, and not necessarily the lowest rate. Any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Bank's Prime Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the effective date of the change. If this Note is placed with an attorney for collection, the undersigned agrees to pay, in addition to principal, interest and late fees, if any, all costs of collection, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees. All obligations of the undersigned and of any Obligor shall bind his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and/or assigns. Use of the masculine pronoun herein shall include the feminine and the neuter, and also the plural. If more than one party shall execute this Note, the term "undersigned" as used herein shall mean all the parties signing this Note and each of them, and all such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder. Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a manner to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective but only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note. All of the undersigned hereby waive all exemptions and homestead laws as may be permitted by Florida law. The proceeds of the loan evidenced by this Note may be paid to any one or more of the undersigned.

From time to time the maturity date of this Note may be extended, or this Note may be renewed in whole or in part, or a new note of different form may be substituted for this Note, or the rate of interest may be modified, or changes may be made in consideration of loan extensions, and the holder hereof, from time to time may waive or surrender, either in whole or in part any rights, guaranties, secured interest, or liens, given for the benefit of the holder in connection with the payment and the securing the payment of this Note; but no such occurrence shall in any manner affect, limit, modify, or otherwise impair any rights, guaranties or security of the holder not specifically waived, released, or surrendered in writing, nor shall the undersigned, or any Obligor, either primarily or contingently, be released by reason of the occurrence of any such event. The holder hereof, from time to time, shall have the unlimited right to release any person who might be liable hereon, and such release shall not affect or discharge the liability of any other person who is or might be liable hereon. No waivers and modifications shall be Valid unless in writing and signed by the Bank. The Bank may, at its option, charge any fees for the modification, renewal, extension, or amendment of any of the terms of the Note permitted by the laws of the state of Florida. In case of a conflict between the terms of this Note and the Master Loan Agreement or Commitment Letter issued in connection herewith, the priority of controlling terms shall be first the Master Loan Agreement, then this Note, and then the Commitment Letter. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Florida.

I.
DEFINITIONS

1.1
Adjusted LIBOR Rate means a rate of interest per annum equal to the sum obtained (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100th of 1.0%) by adding (i) the One Month LIBOR plus (ii) 2.000 % per annum, which shall be adjusted monthly on the first day of each LIBOR Interest Period. The Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be adjusted for any change in the LIBOR Reserve Percentage so that Bank shall receive the same yield. The interest rate will not exceed a fixed maximum rate of 24.000% and will not decrease below a minimum rate of 0.000%. If the loan has been repaid prior to this date, no reimbursement will be made. Provided, however that upon receipt of Borrower’s 2014 10K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, pricing will be based upon the following table:




Leverage Ratio
Applicable Margin for
LIBOR Loans and

≥ 1.0x but < 1.5x
≥ 1.5x but < 2.0x
≥ 2.0x but < 2.5x
≥ 2.5x but < 3.0x

175.0 bps
200.0 bps
225.0 bps
250.0 bps
275.0 bps

“Leverage Ratio” is defined as Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth. Pricing is to be
adjusted on a quarterly basis based upon the table above and the Borrower’s quarterly
financial reports with any interest rate changes taking effect the first Business Day of the
month following the receipt of the quarterly financial reports.

1.2
Business Day means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or any other day when the Bank is authorized or required by applicable law to be closed.

1.3
LIBOR Advance means the advances made by Bank to Borrower evidenced by this Note upon which the Adjusted LIBOR Rate of interest shall apply.

1.4
LIBOR Interest Period means the period, as may be elected by the Borrower applicable to any LIBOR Advance, commencing on the date the Note is first made (or the data of any subsequent LIBOR addendum to the Note) and ending on the day that is immediately prior to the numerically corresponding day of each month thereafter, provided that:

(a)
any LIBOR Interest Period which would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case such LIBOR Interest Period shall end on the next preceding Business Day; and





(b)
any LIBOR Interest Period which begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the subsequent month shall end on the last Business Day of each subsequent month.


1.5
LIBOR Reserve Percentage means the maximum aggregate rate at which reserves (including, without limitation, any marginal supplemental or emergency reserves) are required to be maintained under Regulation D by member banks of the Federal Reserve System with respect to dollar funding in the London interbank market. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the LIBOR Reserve Percentage shall reflect any other reserves required to be maintained by such member banks by reason of any applicable regulatory change against (i) any category of liability which includes deposits by reference to which the Adjusted LIBOR Rate is to be determined or (ii) any category of extensions of credit or other assets related to LIBOR.

1.6
One Month LIBOR means the average rate quoted on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or such replacement page) on the determination date for deposits in U.S. Dollars offered in the London interbank market for one month determined as of 11:00 am London time two (2) Business Days prior to the commencement of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period; provided that if the above method for determining one-month LIBOR shall not be available, the rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal, or a rate determined by a substitute method of determination agreed on by Borrower and Bank; provided, is such agreement is not reached within a reasonable period of time (in Bank’s sole judgment), a rate reasonably determined by Bank in its sole discretion as a rate being paid, as of the determination date, by first class banking organizations (as determined by Bank) in the London interbank market for U.S. Dollar deposits.

1.7
Standard Rate means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the Bank's announced Prime Rate minus 0% per annum, and each change in the Standard Rate shall be effective on the date any change in the Prime Rate is publicly announced as being effective.

II.
LOAN BEARING ADJUSTED LIBOR RATE

2.1
Application of Adjusted LIBOR Rate . The Adjusted LIBOR Rate shall apply to the entire principal balance outstanding of a LIBOR Advance for any LIBOR Interest Period.

2.2
Adjusted LIBOR Based Rate Protections .

(a)
Inability to Determine Rate . In the event that Bank shall have determined, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding, that by reason of circumstances occurring after the date of this Note affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the One Month LIBOR on the basis provided for in this Note, Bank shall give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing or by telecopy) to Borrower of such determination, whereupon (i) no LIBOR Advance shall be made until Bank notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any request by Borrower for a LIBOR Advance shall be deemed to be a request for an advance at the Standard Rate.

(b)
Illegality; Impracticability . In the event that Bank shall determine, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding, that the making, maintaining or continuance of any portion of a LIBOR Advance (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by Bank with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any of the same not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become impracticable, or would cause Bank material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Note materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or Bank's ability to make LIBOR Advances generally, then, and in any such event, Bank shall give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing or by telecopy) to Borrower of such determination.



Thereafter, (x) the obligation of Bank to make any LIBOR Advances or to convert any portion of the loan to a LIBOR Advance shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by Bank, and (y) any request by Borrower for a LIBOR Advance shall be deemed to be a request for an advance at the Standard Rate.

THE UNDERSIGNED REPRESENTS THAT THE LOAN EVIDENCED HEREBY IS BEING OBTAINED FOR BUSINESS/COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. For value received, the undersigned, jointly and severally, if more than one, promises to pay to BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY , a North Carolina banking corporation (the Bank ), or order, at any of Bank s offices in the above referenced city (or such other place or places as may be hereafter designated by Bank), the sum of THREE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 Dollars ($3,500,000.00), in immediately available coin or currency of the United States of America.

Interest shall accrue from the date hereof on the unpaid principal balance outstanding from time to time at the:
See Addendum to Promissory Note attached hereto.

Principal and Interest are payable as follows:

Principal and interest shall be paid as follows:

1.     Commencing February 28, 2014 and each month thereafter through and including December 28, 2018, monthly principal payments in the amount of $58,350.00, plus accrued interest;

2.     On January 28, 2019 the entire outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable.

The undersigned shall pay to Bank a late fee in the amount of five percent (5%) of any installment past due for ten (10) or more days. When any installment payment is past due for ten (10) or more days, subsequent payments shall first be applied to the past due balance. In addition, the undersigned shall pay to Bank a returned payment fee if the undersigned or any other Obligor hereon makes any payment at any time by check or other instrument, or by any electronic means, which is returned to Bank because of nonpayment due to nonsufficient funds.

All interest shall be computed and charged for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of three hundred sixty (360) days. In the event periodic accruals of interest shall exceed any periodic fixed payment amount described above, the fixed payment amount shall be immediately increased, or additional supplemental interest payments required on the same periodic basis as specified above (increased fixed payments or supplemental payments to be determined in the Bank's sole discretion), in such amounts and at such times as shall be necessary to pay all accruals of interest for the period and all accruals of unpaid interest from previous periods. Such adjustments to the fixed payment amount or supplemental payments shall remain in effect for so long as the interest accruals shall exceed the original fixed payment amount and shall be further adjusted upward or downward to reflect changes in the variable interest rate; provided that unless elected otherwise above, the fixed payment amount shall not be reduced below the original fixed payment amount. However, Bank shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to lower the fixed payment amount below the original payment amount.

Florida documentary stamp tax is not required.

This note ("NOTE") is given by the undersigned in connection with the following agreements (if any) between the undersigned and the Bank:
Security Agreement granting a security interest to Bank of even date, given by Borrower.
Master Loan Agreement of even date, executed by Borrower and Guarantors.
The above - described documents executed in connection with this Note are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Agreements."
No delay or omission on the part of the holder in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right of such holder, nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or waiver of the same or of any other right on any future occasion. Every one of the undersigned and every endorser or guarantor of this note regardless of the time, order or place of signing waives presentment, demand, protest and notices of every kind and assents to any one or more extensions or postponements of the time of payment or any other indulgences, to any substitutions, exchanges or releases of collateral if at any time there be available to the holder of collateral for this note, and to the additions or releases of any other parties or persons primarily or secondarily liable.

when demanded; or in the event one or more of the undersigned or any Obligor shall die, terminate its existence, allow the appointment of a receiver for any part of its property, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or where a proceeding under bankruptcy or insolvency laws is initiated by or against any of the undersigned or any Obligor; or in the event the Bank should otherwise deem itself, its security interest, or any collateral unsafe or insecure; or should the Bank in good faith believe that the prospect of payment or other performance is impaired; or if there is an attachment, execution, or other judicial seizure of all or any portion of the Borrower's or any Obligor's assets, including an action or proceeding to seize any funds on deposit with the Bank, and such seizure is not discharged within 20 days; or if final judgment for the payment of money shall be rendered against the Borrower or any Obligor which is not covered by insurance or debt cancellation and shall remain undischarged for a period of 30 days unless such judgment or execution thereon is effectively stayed; or the termination of any guaranty agreement given in connection with this Note, then any one of the same shall be a material default hereunder and this Note and other debts due the Bank by any one or more of undersigned shall immediately become due and payable at the option of the Bank without notice or demand of any kind, which are hereby waived. From and after any event of default hereunder, interest shall accrue on the sum of the principal balance and accrued interest then outstanding at the variable rate equal to the Bank's Prime Rate plus 5% per annum ("Default Rate") until such principal and interest have been paid in full, provided that such rate shall not exceed at any time the highest rate of interest permitted by the laws of the State of Florida; and further provided that such rate shall also apply after judgement. In addition, upon default, the Bank may pursue its full legal remedies at law or equity, and the balance due hereunder may be charged against any obligation of the Bank to any party including any Obligor. Bank shall not be obligated to accept any check, money order, or other payment instrument marked "payment in full" on any disputed amount due hereunder, and Bank expressly reserves the right to reject all such payment instruments. Borrower agrees that tender of its check or other payment instrument so marked will not satisfy or discharge its obligation under this Note, disputed or otherwise, even if such check or payment instrument is inadvertently processed by Bank unless in fact such payment is in fact sufficient to pay the amount due hereunder.

WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.

THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR BANK TO MAKE THE LOAN EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE. FURTHER, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY CERTIFY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF BANK, NOR BANK'S COUNSEL, HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT BANK WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF BANK, NOR BANK'S COUNSEL, HAS THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE, CONDITION OR MODIFY THIS PROVISION.

Unless otherwise required under a Loan Agreement, if applicable, and as long as any indebtedness evidenced by this Note remains outstanding or as long as Bank remains obligated to make advances, the undersigned shall furnish annually an updated financial statement in a form satisfactory to Bank, which, when delivered shall be the property of the Bank.

The term "Prime Rate," if used herein, means the rate of interest per annum announced by the Bank from time to time and adopted as its Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is one of several rate indexes employed by the Bank when extending credit, and not necessarily the lowest rate. Any change in the interest rate resulting from a change in the Bank's Prime Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the effective date of the change. If this Note is placed with an attorney for collection, the undersigned agrees to pay, in addition to principal, interest and late fees, if any, all costs of collection, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees. All obligations of the undersigned and of any Obligor shall bind his heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and/or assigns. Use of the masculine pronoun herein shall include the feminine and the neuter, and also the plural. If more than one party shall execute this Note, the term "undersigned" as used herein shall mean all the parties signing this Note and each of them, and all such parties shall be jointly and severally obligated hereunder. Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in such a manner to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Note shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective but only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Note. All of the undersigned hereby waive all exemptions and homestead laws as may be permitted by Florida law. The proceeds of the loan evidenced by this Note may be paid to any one or more of the undersigned.

From time to time the maturity date of this Note may be extended, or this Note may be renewed in whole or in part, or a new note of different form may be substituted for this Note, or the rate of interest may be modified, or changes may be made in consideration of loan extensions, and the holder hereof, from time to time may waive or surrender, either in whole or in part any rights, guaranties, secured interest, or liens, given for the benefit of the holder in connection with the payment and the securing the payment of this Note; but no such occurrence shall in any manner affect, limit, modify, or otherwise impair any rights, guaranties or security of the holder not specifically waived, released, or surrendered in writing, nor shall the undersigned, or any Obligor, either primarily or contingently, be released by reason of the occurrence of any such event. The holder hereof, from time to time, shall have the unlimited right to release any person who might be liable hereon, and such release shall not affect or discharge the liability of any other person who is or might be liable hereon. No waivers and modifications shall be Valid unless in writing and signed by the Bank. The Bank may, at its option, charge any fees for the modification, renewal, extension, or amendment of any of the terms of the Note permitted by the laws of the state of Florida. In case of a conflict between the terms of this Note and the Master Loan Agreement or Commitment Letter issued in connection herewith, the priority of controlling terms shall be first the Master Loan Agreement, then this Note, and then the Commitment Letter. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Florida.

1.7
Standard Rate means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the Bank's announced Prime Rate minus 0% per annum, and each change in the Standard Rate shall be effective on the date any change in the Prime Rate is publicly announced as being effective.

(b)
Illegality; Impracticability . In the event that Bank shall determine, which determination shall be final, conclusive and binding, that the making, maintaining or continuance of any portion of a LIBOR Advance (i) has become unlawful as a result of compliance by Bank with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any of the same not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful) or (ii) has become impracticable, or would cause Bank material hardship, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date of this Note materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or Bank's ability to make LIBOR Advances generally, then, and in any such event, Bank shall give notice (by telephone confirmed in writing or by telecopy) to Borrower of such determination.



Thereafter, (x) the obligation of Bank to make any LIBOR Advances or to convert any portion of the loan to a LIBOR Advance shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by Bank, and (y) any request by Borrower for a LIBOR Advance shall be deemed to be a request for an advance at the Standard Rate.

Dear Sirs:

As an inducement to Branch Banking and Trust Company and/or BB&T Financial, FSB (collectively "Bank"), to extend credit to and to otherwise deal with The Goldfield Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Borrower"), and in consideration thereof, the undersigned (and each of the undersigned jointly and severally if more than one) hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Bank and its successors and assigns the due and punctual payment prior to the expiration of any grace/notice periods provided by the notes or other agreements of any and all notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities, primary or secondary (whether by way of endorsement or otherwise), of Borrower, at any time, now or hereafter, incurred with or held by Bank, together with interest, as and when the same become due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of any such notes, drafts, debts, obligations or liabilities or agreements evidencing any such indebtedness, obligation or liability including all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof. The obligation of the undersigned is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

The undersigned is Bank's debtor for all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities for which this Guaranty is made, and Bank shall also at all times have a lien on and security interest in all stocks, bonds and other securities of the undersigned at any time in Bank's possession and the same shall at Bank's option be held, administered and disposed of as collateral to any such indebtedness, obligation or liability of the Borrower, and Bank shall also at all times have the right of set-off against any deposit account of the undersigned with Bank in the same manner and to the same extent that the right of set-off may exist against the Borrower.

It is understood that any such notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities may be accepted or created by or with Bank at any time and from time to time without notice to the undersigned, and the undersigned hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, and notice of dishonor of any such notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities or other evidences of any such indebtedness, obligation or liability.

Bank may receive and accept from time to time any securities or other property as collateral to any such notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities, and may surrender, compromise, exchange and release absolutely the same or any part thereof at any time without notice to the undersigned and without in any manner affecting the obligation and liability of the undersigned hereby created. The undersigned agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any security interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held for the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities for which this Guaranty is made.

This obligation and liability on the part of the undersigned shall be a primary, and not a secondary, obligation and liability, payable immediately upon demand without recourse first having been had by Bank against the Borrower or any other guarantor, person, firm or corporation, and without first resorting to any property held by Bank as collateral security; and the undersigned hereby waives the benefits of all provisions of law, for stay or delay of execution or sale of property or other satisfaction of judgment against the undersigned on account of obligation and liability hereunder until judgment be obtained therefor against the Borrower and execution thereon returned unsatisfied, or until it is shown that the Borrower has no property available for the satisfaction of the indebtedness, obligation or liability guaranteed hereby, or until any other proceedings can be had; and the undersigned hereby agrees to indemnify the Bank for all costs of collection, including but not limited to the costs of repossession, foreclosure, reasonable attorneys' fees, and court costs incurred by the Bank in the event that the Bank should first be required by the undersigned to resort to any property held by the Bank or in which the Bank has a security interest or to obtain execution or other satisfaction of a judgment against the Borrower on account of Borrower's obligation and liability for its indebtedness guaranteed hereby; and the undersigned further agrees that the undersigned is responsible for any obligation or debt, or portion thereof, of the Borrower to the Bank which has been paid by the Borrower to the Bank and which the Bank is subsequently required to return to the Borrower or a trustee for the Borrower in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and the undersigned further agrees that none of the undersigned shall have any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, nor any right of recourse to security for the debts and obligations of the Borrower to Bank unless and until all of the debts and obligations of the Borrower to Bank have been paid in full. The undersigned hereby waives, to the extent avoidable under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, any right arising upon payment by the undersigned of any obligation under this Guaranty to assert a claim against the bankruptcy estate of the Borrower.

This Guaranty is unlimited and applies to all indebtedness of Borrower to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter arising and howsoever evidenced.

To secure the payment of all obligations of the undersigned hereunder, the undersigned hereby grants a security interest and lien in the following goods and property owned by the undersigned: All, Machinery, Equipment, and Vehicles (including all vehicles and equipment of Southeast Power Corporation, Power Corporation of America and C and C Power Line, Inc.), including but not limited to, insurance proceeds together with all accessories, accessions, attachments, parts, replacements, substitutions, improvements, repairs installed in or affixed thereto with all manufacturers’ warranties, parts and tools therefore.

This document shall constitute a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of Florida ("Code"), and in addition to having all other legal rights and remedies, the Bank shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code.

This agreement shall inure to the benefit of Bank, its successors and assigns, and the owners and holders of any of the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities hereby guaranteed, and shall remain in force until a written notice revoking it has been received by Bank; but such revocation shall not release the undersigned from liability to Bank, its successors and assigns, or the owners and holders of any of the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities hereby guaranteed, for any indebtedness, obligation or liability of the Borrower which is hereby guaranteed and then in existence or from any renewals, extensions or modifications thereof in whole or in part, whether such renewals, extensions or modifications are made before or after such revocation, with or without notice to the undersigned. The undersigned waives presentment, demand, protest and notices of every kind and assents to any one or more extensions, modifications, renewals or postponements of the time or amount of payment or any other indulgences given to Borrower. The undersigned shall be responsible for and shall reimburse the Bank for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Bank in connection with the

Initials


enforcement of this Guaranty or the protection or preservation of any right or claim of the Bank in connection herewith, including without limitation costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with its attempts to collect the indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities guaranteed hereby.

This Guaranty is made in and shall be construed in accordance with the laws and judicial decisions of the State of Florida. The undersigned agrees that any dispute arising out of this Guaranty shall be adjudicated in either the state or federal courts of Florida and in no other forum. For that purpose, the undersigned hereby submits to the jurisdiction of the state and/or federal courts of Florida. The undersigned waives any defense that venue is not proper for any action brought in any federal or state court in the State of Florida.

WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY MATTERS OR CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR THE BORROWER’S NOTE(S), AND THE RELATED LOAN DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR OUT OF THE CONDUCT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND BANK OR THE BORROWER AND THE BANK.
