For purposes of determining the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate:

(a) The Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be set on the Second Amendment Closing Date to the fees and spreads associated with “Level IV” pricing and shall remain at such level until the due date of the Compliance Certificate for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2018.

(b) The Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate and the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate shall be recomputed as of the end of each fiscal quarter ending after the Closing Date based on the Leverage Ratio as of such quarter end. Any increase or decrease in the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Commitment Fee Rate or the Applicable Letter of Credit Fee Rate computed as of a quarter end shall be effective on the date on which the Compliance Certificate evidencing such computation is due to be delivered under Section 8.3.3 [Certificate of the Company]. If a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with such Section 8.3.3, then the rates in Level IV shall apply as of the first Business Day after the date on which such Compliance Certificate was required to have been delivered and shall remain in effect until the date on which such Compliance Certificate is delivered.


(c) If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Company or for any other reason, the Borrowers or the Lenders determine that (i) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrowers as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, the Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period. This paragraph shall not limit the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Lender, as the case may be, under Section 2.8 [Letter of Credit Subfacility], Section 4.3 [Interest After Default] or Article 9 [Default]. The Borrowers’ obligations under this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

SCHEDULE 6.1.5

LITIGATION

[SEE ATTACHED]


Schedule 6.1.5

Litigation

As described in the L. B. Foster Company (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q filed thereafter, the Company, its subsidiary, CXT Incorporated (“CXT”), and Union Pacific Railroad (“UPRR”) were parties to that certain 2005 supply agreement, as amended, providing for the manufacture and sale of concrete railroad ties by the Company and CXT to UPRR. In 2011, UPRR notified the Company and CXT that a significant percentage of concrete ties manufactured at the Company’s Grand Island, Nebraska facility failed to meet contract specifications, had workmanship defects, and were cracking and failing prematurely. Through 2014, the parties worked together to identify and replace defective ties with warranty ties; however, the parties failed to agree on the amount of ties eligible for warranty replacement.

On January 23, 2015, UPRR filed a Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial in the District Court for Douglas County, Nebraska against the Company and CXT, asserting among other matters that the Company breached its express warranty, breached an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, anticipatorily repudiated its warranty obligations, and that UPRR’s exclusive and limited remedy provisions in the supply agreement have failed of their essential purpose which entitles UPRR to recover all incidental and consequential damages. The complaint seeks to cancel all duties of UPRR under the contracts, to adjudge the Company as having no remaining rights under the contracts, and to recover damages in an amount to be determined at trial for the value of unfulfilled warranty replacement ties and ties likely to become warranty eligible, for costs of cover for replacement ties, and for various incidental and consequential damages. The amended 2005 supply agreement provides that UPRR’s exclusive remedy is to receive a replacement tie that meets the contract specifications for each tie that failed to meet the contract specifications or otherwise contained a material defect provided that the Company receives written notice of such failure or defect within 15 years after that tie was produced. The amended 2005 supply agreement continues to provide that the Company’s warranty does not apply to ties that (a) have been repaired or altered without the Company’s written consent in such a way as to affect the stability or reliability thereof, (b) have been subject to misuse, negligence or accident, or (c) have been improperly maintained or used contrary to the specifications for which such ties were produced. The amended 2005 supply agreement also continues to provide that the Company’s warranty is in lieu of all other express or implied warranties and that neither party shall be subject to or liable for any incidental or consequential damages to the other party. The dispute is largely based on (1) claims submitted which the Company believes are for ties inaccurately rated that are not the responsibility of the Company and claims that do not meet the criteria of a warranty replacement and (2) UPRR’s assertion, which the Company vigorously disputes, that UPRR in future years will be entitled to warranty replacement ties for virtually all of the Grand Island ties produced for UPRR at any time. Many thousands of Grand Island ties have been performing in track for over ten years. In addition, a significant amount of Grand Island ties were rated by both parties in the excellent category of the rating system.


In June 2015, UPRR delivered an additional notice alleging deficiencies in certain ties produced in the Company’s Tucson and Spokane locations and other claimed material breaches which the Company contends are unfounded. The Company again responded to UPRR that it was not in material breach of the amended 2005 supply agreement relating to warranty tie replacements and that the ties in question complied with the specifications provided by UPRR.

On June 16 and 17, 2015, UPRR issued formal notice of the termination of the concrete tie supply agreement as well as the termination of the lease agreement at the Tucson, AZ production facility and rejection and revocation of its prior acceptance of certain ties manufactured at the Company’s Spokane, WA production facility. Since that time, UPRR has discontinued submitting purchase orders to the Company for shipment of warranty replacement ties.

On May 29, 2015, the Company and CXT filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims in response to the Complaint, denying liability to UPRR. As a result of UPRR’s subsequent June 16-17, 2015 actions and certain related conduct, the Company on October 5, 2015 amended the pending Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaims to add, among other things, assertions that UPRR’s conduct in question was wrongful and unjustified and constituted additional grounds for the affirmative defenses to UPRR’s claims and also for the Company’s counterclaims.

By Scheduling Order dated June 29, 2016, an August 31, 2017 deadline for the completion of fact discovery has been established and trial may proceed at some future date after October 30, 2017, and UPRR has filed an amended notice of trial to commence on October 30, 2017. The parties continue to conduct discovery, and the Company intends to continue to engage in discussions in an effort to resolve the UPRR matter. The Company believes UPRR’s claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.

Please see the Company’s disclosures contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended thereafter, and prior public filings for additional information on this matter.


SCHEDULE 6.1.14

ENVIRONMENTAL DISCLOSURES

[SEE ATTACHED]

 


Schedule 6.1.14

Environmental Disclosures

 

A.                

The following environmental disclosures have been made by the Sellers of IOS Holdings, Inc. (“IOS”) with regard to environmental matters:

 

  1. The following matters were identified with respect to property located in Kimball, Nebraska:

 

  a. A release was reported to the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) in 1998, associated with low levels of vapors detected at the time a 4,000-gallon diesel underground storage tank (“UST”) was removed from the site. The Nebraska DEQ issued a No Further Action (“NFA”) letter in 1999, closing the incident.

 

  2. The following matters were identified with respect to property located in Channelview, Texas:

 

  a. A former underground storage tank (“UST”) system (three diesel and gasoline USTs on site), was removed in 1993, but subsequent investigation and testing of the soil was required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) as recently as 2011. IOS was identified as a responsible party. In April 2013, TCEQ notified IOS that the status for the incident had been changed to “final concurrence issued, case closed.”

 

  3. The following matters were identified with respect to property located in Youngsville, Louisiana:

 

  a. A release and minor impacts associated with IOS’s removal of a 4,000-gallon gasoline UST in 2004; the Louisiana DEQ issued a NFA letter for the incident in 2007.

 

  b. The site was identified on the RCRA Small Quantity Generator (“RCRA-SQG”), UST, FINDS, and NPDES databases, with several violations issued in the early 1990s. A Compliance Order was issued to Oilfield Services of Louisiana (RNA, Inc. acquired the business of Oilfield Services of Louisiana in the 1990s) in 1993 due to the company’s mishandling of hazardous waste between the mid-1980s and early 1990s. The Louisiana DEQ issued a dismissal of the Order in 1995.

 

  B. L.B. Foster Company (the “Company”) recently discovered that prior to the Company’s purchase of IOS, the previous owners of IOS failed to remove waste generated by IOS from a site located in Bismarck, North Dakota. The Company is presently collecting and disposing of such waste in compliance with environmental regulations.

Environmental Disclosures

 

 

  C. The Company is subject to national, state, foreign, and/or local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Company is monitoring its potential environmental exposure related to environmental matters at current and former facilities. The Company’s efforts to comply with environmental matters may have a material adverse effect on its future earnings. As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s undiscounted environmental liability totaled $6,640,000. Please see the Company’s disclosures contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and prior public filings for additional information on environmental matters.
