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, dated as of September 28, 2012, as amended by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement, dated as of February 27, 2013 (the “Agreement”), among FIRST FINANCIAL BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (“Bank”), ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT, INC., an Ohio corporation (“EQMI”), EQ ENGINEERS, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company (“EQE”), and VERTTERRE CORPORATION, a New Mexico corporation (“Vertterre”).  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.

Title: EQ's Releasable Asbestos Field Sampler (RAFS):

US Patent No: 7,758,813

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.

SCHEDULE 9.10

 

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.

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. 

 

FOB Hope Project Claim for Equitable Adjustment

 

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.
