EXHIBIT 10.5
LOAN AGREEMENT
     LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of March 31, 2006, among Furmanite International Finance Limited, a company organized under the laws of England (registered number ###-###-####) (the “Borrower”), and BoS (USA) Inc. (the “Lender”).
WITNESSETH:
     WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that the Lender make available to the Borrower the Revolving Credit Loans herein described in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $15,000,000; and
     WHEREAS, the Lender is willing to make such Revolving Credit Loans available to the Borrower on the terms and conditions herein provided;
     NOW, THEREFORE, it is agreed:
     Section 1. DEFINITIONS.
     Terms used in this Agreement which are defined in Annex I hereto shall have the meanings specified in such Annex I (unless otherwise defined herein) and shall include in the singular number the plural and in the plural number the singular. Unless otherwise specified, each reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to a Loan Document shall mean such Loan Document as the same may from time to time be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified. All references to Sections in this Agreement or in Annex I hereto shall be deemed references to Sections in this Agreement unless otherwise specified. As used in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the terms “including” and “such as” are illustrative and not limitative.
     Section 2. THE LOAN FACILITY.
     2.1 The Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lender agrees at any time and from time to time during the Commitment Period to make loans to the Borrower (each a “Revolving Credit Loan” and collectively, the “Revolving Credit Loans”) up to the Revolving Credit Loan Commitment; provided that, on the date of the making of any Revolving Credit Loan (and after giving effect thereto), the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding on such date shall not exceed the Revolving Credit Loan Commitment then in effect. During the Commitment Period, the Borrower may utilize the Revolving Credit Loan Commitment by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty (except as otherwise provided by Section 3.11), and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.

 


 

     2.2 Notice of Borrowing.
     (a) The Borrower shall give at least four Business Days’ prior written notice (a “Notice of Borrowing”) to the Lender of the date (which shall be a Business Day during the Commitment Period) of each proposed borrowing hereunder (the “Borrowing Date”). Such notice shall specify (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) (i) the Borrowing Date, (ii) the total amount of the proposed borrowing, which shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000 if a Base Rate (US) Loan and $500,000 if a Libor Loan (or, if greater, in integral multiples of $100,000 in each case) provided that the aggregate principal amount of such borrowing must equal or be less than the Unutilized Revolving Commitment at such time (after giving effect to all other Notices of Borrowings for Revolving Credit Loans pending at such time) and (iii) the Type of Loan which such borrowing will initially be, (iv) whether such Loan will be a Libor Loan or a Base Rate (US) Loan and, if a Libor Loan, the requested Interest Period therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Base Rate (US) Loans may be made upon two Business Days’ telephone notice, Closing Office Time, by the Borrower to the Lender (confirmed as soon as possible thereafter in writing). Unless otherwise agreed to by the Lender and the Borrower, the Notice of Borrowing for all Loans shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto. The Borrower may not have more than ten (10) Loans outstanding at any time.
     (b) The Borrower may not designate more than one Interest Period for Libor Loans or (unless otherwise consented to by the Lender) more than one Type of Loan in the same Notice of Borrowing. Without the Lender’s consent, no Libor Loan shall be made or maintained if the principal amount thereof is less than $500,000. Without the consent of the Lender, the Borrower shall not be entitled to make borrowings under the Revolving Credit Loan Commitment more than twice in any calendar week.
     (c) [intentionally deleted]
     (d) Each Loan requested in a Notice of Borrowing shall be made in Dollars. If, with respect to any requested Libor Loan, the Lender does not expect to be able to fund such Loan for the Interest Period applicable thereto by obtaining a matching deposit in the London inter-bank market at the relevant time or (ii) it would be impossible, unlawful or contrary to any regulation, interpretation, order, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law) applicable to the Lender of any court or governmental authority, or any fiscal, monetary, central bank or other authority having jurisdiction over the Lender for the Lender to make the Libor Loan available to the Borrower, the Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the requested Loan shall instead be made as a Base Rate (US) Rate Loan.
     2.3 The Note.
     (a) The Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Revolving Credit Loans of the Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower payable to the order of the Lender substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (as such note may be from time to time be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified, a “Revolving Credit Note”.

2


 

     (b) The Revolving Credit Note is entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and shall be secured by the FIFL LC.
     (c) The principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans of the Lender outstanding from time to time, and interest accrued thereon, shall be recorded on the records of the Lender and, prior to any transfer of, or any action to collect, its Revolving Credit Note, the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans evidenced thereby shall be endorsed on the reverse side of such Revolving Credit Note, together with the date of such endorsement and the date to which interest has been paid; any failure to make such endorsement and provide such other information, however, shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder or under the Note.
     2.4 [intentionally deleted]
     2.5 Mandatory Prepayments of Revolving Credit Loans.
     (a) The Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Credit Loans on any day and on the effective date of any reduction or termination in the Revolving Credit Loan Commitment hereunder to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of such Loans on such date shall exceed the Revolving Credit Loan Commitment in effect on such date; if the Revolving Credit Loan Commitment is terminated in full, then the Borrower shall immediately prepay in full the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans. Repayments pursuant to this Section shall first be made against (to the extent available) outstanding Revolving Credit Loans which are Libor Loans having an Interest Period ending on the date of such repayment, then to Base Rate (US) Loans, as directed by the Borrower by written (or telephonic, promptly confirmed in writing) notice to the Lender or, in the absence of such direction, by the Lender.
     (b) The then-unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans shall be payable in full on the first Business Day of January, 2010.
     2.6 [intentionally deleted]
     2.7 Voluntary Repayment of Revolving Credit Loans. The Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, by four Business Days’ prior written notice to the Lender to prepay the Revolving Credit Loans, in whole, or in part in integral multiples of $500,000 and without premium, provided that at the time of any such prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans in full, the Borrower shall pay all interest accrued on the amount of such prepayment and all other amounts owing to the Lender in respect thereof including, without limitation, any compensation payable under Section 3.11 hereof. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts prepaid under this Section 2.7 may be reborrowed.
     Section 3. INTEREST.

3


 

     3.1 Rate of Interest. The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Loan from time to time outstanding from the date the proceeds thereof are made available to the Borrower until maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) at the following interest rates: (i) each Libor Loan, at a rate per annum for each Interest Period applicable thereto equal to (x) LIBOR for such Interest Period plus (y) the Eurocurrency Differential, and (ii) each Base Rate (US) Loan, at a rate per annum equal to (x) the Base Rate (US), such rate to change as and when such Base Rate (US) changes, plus (y) the Base Rate (US) Differential. Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a 360 day year.
     3.2 Interest Payment Dates. Interest on and prior to maturity in respect of each Loan shall be payable in arrears (i) if such Loan is (x) a Libor Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto and, if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at the end of each three-month interval within such Interest Period or (y) a Base Rate (US) Loan, on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter after the making thereof and on the last day of any Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) upon any prepayment or repayment of such Loan in full (to the extent accrued on the amount prepaid or repaid) and (iii) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). The Lender shall endeavor to notify the Borrower prior to each such interest payment date of the amount to be paid by the Borrower on such date, but no failure by the Lender to do so shall in any way affect the Borrower’s obligations hereunder to timely pay the full amount of interest due when due; however, no such amount paid in reliance on such a notice, or paid in accordance with the Borrower’s good faith calculations in the absence of such a notice, shall constitute an Event of Default under Section 9.1 unless the Borrower shall fail to timely pay the full amount of any further adjustment as may be appropriate pursuant to notice to the Borrower from the Lender.
     3.3 Overdue Payment of Principal and Interest. Overdue principal of, and overdue interest in respect of, each Loan shall bear interest for each day, payable on demand, at a rate per annum (the “Past-Due Rate”) equal to 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise applicable to such Loan (up to the end of the then-current Interest Period therefor, or any subsequent interest period therefor selected by the Lender, that is applicable to such Loan).
     3.4 Interest Periods. For purposes of this Agreement the term “Interest Period” shall mean:
     (a) with respect to any Libor Loan:
  (i)   initially, the period commencing on the borrowing or conversion date, as the case may be, with respect to such Loan and ending one, three, six or nine months thereafter, as selected by the Borrower in its Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion, as the case may be, given with respect thereto; and
 
  (ii)   thereafter, each period commencing on the last day of the next preceding Interest Period applicable to such Loan and ending one, three, six or nine months thereafter, as selected by the Borrower by irrevocable notice (each an “Interest Period Notice”) to the Lender not later than 10:00 a.m., Closing Office Time, four Business Days

4


 

      prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto;
provided that, all of the foregoing provisions relating to Interest Periods for Libor Loans are subject to the following:
  (1)   if any Interest Period pertaining to a Libor Loan would otherwise end on a day that is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to carry such Interest Period into another calendar month in which event such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day;
 
  (2)   any Interest Period that would otherwise extend beyond the date final payment is due on the Libor Loan shall end on such date of final payment;
 
  (3)   any Interest Period pertaining to a Libor Loan that begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month (or on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period) shall end on the last Business Day of a calendar month;
 
  (4)   the Borrower shall select Interest Periods so as not to require a payment or prepayment of any Libor Loan during an Interest Period for such Loan;
 
  (5)   in the absence of timely selection by the Borrower of an Interest Period for a Libor Loan, the Interest Period shall be one month (subject to the other terms of this proviso); and
 
  (6)   the Borrower shall select Interest Periods in order to comply with the provisions of Section 2.2(b); and
     (b) with respect to any Base Rate (US) Loan, the period commencing on the borrowing or conversion date, as the case may be, with respect to such Loan and ending on the first to occur of the maturity date (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan or the conversion date with respect to such Loan.
     3.5 Conversion.
     (a) The Borrower shall have the option to convert (i) at any time, all or a portion of any Base Rate (US) Loan into a Libor Loan or (ii) on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, a Libor Loan into a Base Rate (US) Loan; provided, however, (x) without the consent of the Lender, no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Base Rate (US) Loan may be converted into a Libor Loan during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default and (y) no Loan may be converted under this Section 3.5(a) unless the provisions of the next-to-last sentence of Section 2.2(b) are complied with after giving effect to such conversion.

5


 

     (b) The Borrower shall exercise the option granted pursuant to Section 3.5(a) by giving, no later than 10:00 a.m., Closing Office Time, on the fourth Business Day prior to the proposed conversion date, written or telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) thereof (a “Notice of Conversion”) to the Lender. Each Notice of Conversion shall state (i) the option to be exercised pursuant to Section 3.5(a), the requested conversion date which shall be a Business Day and which in the case of the conversion of any Base Rate (US) Loan shall be deemed the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (ii) in the case of a conversion into a Libor Loan, the requested Interest Period therefor. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Lender and the Borrower, the Notice of Conversion shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto.
     (c) Any Libor Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving an Interest Period Notice to the Lender, in accordance with Section 3.4, setting forth the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loan, provided that no Libor Loan may be continued as such (i) when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Lender has determined that such a continuation is not appropriate, (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, Section 2.2(b) would be contravened or (iii) after the date that is one month prior to the end of the Commitment period and provided, further, that if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate (US) Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period.
     3.6 Automatic Conversion. If, on or prior to a Eurocurrency Interest Determination Date for a Libor Loan (and no Notice of Conversion shall have been received with respect to such Loan to be effective at the end of the current Interest Period therefor), the Lender shall have determined that one of the events described in Section 2.2(d) has occurred which would make it impossible, unlawful or impracticable to continue such Loan for another Interest Period, the Lender shall promptly notify (in writing or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing) the Borrower thereof and such Loan shall at the end of the current Interest Period therefor be converted into a Base Rate (US) Loan (if permitted by the other provisions of the Agreement).
     3.7 Capital Adequacy; Qualification Requirements.
     (a) If the Lender shall have determined that the applicability after the date hereof of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled “International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption after the date hereof of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any of the foregoing or in the enforcement or interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any court or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the enforcement or interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Lender (or any lending office of the Lender) or any holding company of the Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have

6


 

achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by the Lender to be material, then, upon demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company (as determined by the Lender in good faith) for any such reduction suffered as a consequence of the Lender’s obligations hereunder, together with interest on each such amount (commencing three Business Days from the date demanded) until payment in full thereof at the Base Rate (US). A certificate of the Lender submitted to the Borrower as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount or amounts, the Lender may use any reasonable method of averaging and attribution as it shall deem applicable.
     (b) If the Lender shall have determined that the applicability of any Qualification Requirement, or any Regulatory Change or change in any Qualification Requirement or in the enforcement or interpretation or administration of any Qualification Requirement by any Governmental Authority charged with the enforcement or interpretation or administration thereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender’s capital or on the capital of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such applicability, adoption, change or compliance by an amount reasonably deemed by the Lender to be material, then, upon demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender from time to time such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company (as determined by the Lender in good faith) for any such reduction suffered as a consequence of the Lender’s obligations hereunder, together with interest on each such amount (commencing three Business Days from the date demanded) until payment in full thereof at the Base Rate (US). A certificate of the Lender submitted to the Borrower as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. In determining such amount or amounts, the Lender may use any reasonable method of averaging and attribution as it shall deem applicable. “Qualification Requirement” shall mean any legal requirement that solely by reason of (and without regard to any other activities of the Lender in any jurisdiction in which collateral is located) the entering into, performance and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by the Lender constitutes “doing business” by the Lender in any jurisdiction, imposes on the Lender any liability for taxes or other governmental charges, requires qualification by the Lender to do business in any jurisdiction or requires a “business activity,” “doing business” or similar report or notice to be filed by the Lender in any jurisdiction.
     (c) No demand for compensation under this Section 3.7 shall be made by the Lender unless the Lender is making similar demands upon similarly situated borrowers.
     3.8 Determination of Rate of Borrowing
     (a) As soon as practicable after 11:00 a.m., Closing Office Time, on each Eurocurrency

7


 

Interest Determination Date for a Libor Loan, the Lender shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) LIBOR to be applicable to such Libor Loan for the next succeeding Interest Period therefor and shall promptly give notice thereof in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing) to the Borrower.
     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that prior to the first day of any Interest Period for a Libor Loan:
     (i) the Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR for such Interest Period, or
     (ii) the Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that LIBOR determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the affected Loans during such Interest Period,
the Lender shall give written or telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) notice thereof to the Borrower as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Libor Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as Base Rate (US) Loans, (y) any Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Libor Loans shall be converted to or continued as Base Rate (US) Loans, and (z) any outstanding Libor Loans shall be converted, on the first day of such Interest Period, to Base Rate (US) Loans. No further Libor Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Base Rate (US) Loans to Libor Loans until the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exists.
     3.9 Requirements of Law.
     (a) If the Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties) that by reason of (x) the requirements of Regulation D of the Board of the Governors of the Federal Reserve System or (y) any Regulatory Change after the date hereof or (z) other circumstances affecting the Lender (such as for example but not limited to a change in official reserve requirements or increased capital reserves required or imposed by any regulatory authority or entity (domestic or foreign) having jurisdiction over or with respect to the Lender or any change in the basis of taxation of payments to the Lender of principal or interest on any Libor Loan (other than taxes covered by Section 5.2 or taxes on the Lender’s overall income by the jurisdiction where the Lender’s principal or lending office or offices are located) to the extent not provided for in clause (x) above), the Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the amounts received or receivable hereunder in respect of any Libor Loan, then, and in any such event, the Lender shall promptly give notice in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing) to the Borrower of such determination. Thereafter, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender, upon written demand therefor, such additional amounts (which may be in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest if the Borrower and the Lender so agree) as shall be sufficient to

8


 

compensate the Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable, provided that in the case of any such determination pursuant to clause (x) with respect to any Libor Loan, the written notice from the Lender to the Borrower shall specify the additional amount required to be paid with respect to such Loan (with such amount so stated to be final with respect to each Interest Period therefor until notice is received by the Borrower from the Lender that the condition giving rise to such determination is no longer applicable) and such additional amount shall be paid at the same time, and together with, the interest otherwise payable in respect of such Libor Loans for such affected Interest Periods. Each such notice or demand shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all of the parties hereto; provided that before giving any such notice or making any such demand, the Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable discretion, in any legal, economic or regulatory manner) to designate a different lending office if the making of such designation would avoid the need for, or materially reduce the amount of, such increased cost.
     (b) In the case of the Lender affected by subsection 3.9(a), other than clause (x) thereof, the Borrower may (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement) exercise any one of the following options if the exercise of such option shall eliminate the need to pay compensation to the Lender pursuant to Section 3.9(a):
     (i) If such determination by the Lender relates only to Libor Loans then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion, the Borrower may, prior to the date on which such Libor Loans are to be made or converted, by giving notice in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing) to the Lender, withdraw such Notice of Borrowing or such Notice of Conversion.
     (ii) Upon written notice to the Lender, the Borrower may terminate the obligation of the Lender to make or maintain Loans as, or convert Loans into, Libor Loans and, in such event, the Borrower shall on the first day of the next occurring Interest Period applicable thereto convert all Libor Loans into Base Rate (US) Loans in the manner contemplated by Section 3.5 but without satisfying the notice requirements therein.
     (iii) The Borrower may, by giving notice in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing) to the Lender, require the Lender to make the Libor Loan then being requested as a Base Rate (US) Loan, or to continue to maintain its outstanding Base Rate (US) Loan then the subject of a Notice of Conversion as a Base Rate (US) Loan, as the case may be, or to convert each Libor Loan then outstanding that is so affected into a Base Rate (US) Loan on the first day of the next occurring Interest Period applicable thereto, or within such earlier period, as is required by law.
     3.10 Required Termination and Prepayment. In the event that at any time the Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties) that the making or continuation of any of its Libor Loans has become unlawful by compliance by the Lender in good faith with any law, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or

9


 

order (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful), the Lender shall promptly give notice in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing) to the Borrower of such determination; provided that before giving any such notice, the Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions and so long as such efforts would not be disadvantageous to it, in its reasonable discretion, in any legal, economic or regulatory manner) to designate a different lending office if the making of such a designation would allow the Lender to continue to perform its obligations to make Libor Loans affected by such determination. Upon receiving such notification, the Borrower shall (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement) forthwith take one of the actions specified in Section 3.9(b) (to the extent required to cure such condition). If the Borrower has not exercised one of the options specified in Section 3.9(b) within the time periods therein prescribed, the Borrower shall be deemed to have exercised the option set forth in clause (iii) of Section 3.9(b) (requiring the making, continuance or conversion into Base Rate (US) Loans) and to have given the notice specified therein. If any such conversion of a Libor Loan occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3.11. If circumstances subsequently change so that the Lender shall determine that it is no longer so affected, the Lender will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lender, and upon receipt of such notice, the obligations of the Lender to make or continue such Libor Loans or to convert Loans into such Libor Loans shall be reinstated.
     3.11 Compensation. The Borrower shall compensate the Lender, upon written request by the Lender (which request shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any interest paid by the Lender to lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Libor Loans and any reasonable loss (including any loss of margin) sustained by the Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds), which the Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by the Lender) a borrowing or conversion of any Libor Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion (whether or not withdrawn), (ii) if any prepayment, repayment or conversion of any of its Libor Loans occurs on a date which is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Libor Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower, or (iv) as a consequence of any default by the Borrower hereunder.
     Section 4. FACILITY FEE. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a non-refundable upfront fee of $25,000 (the “Facility Fee”). The Facility Fee shall be deemed earned in full on the Closing Date and shall be payable in full on the Closing Date.
     Section 5. PAYMENTS, ETC.
     5.1 Currency, Payments on Non-Business Days; Calculations. (a) Dollars are the currency of account for each and every sum due from the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

10


 

     (b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or otherwise in connection with any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension. Interest hereunder (including, without limitation, interest on the Loans) and under the Loan Documents shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed; if for any reason a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest (subject to the other provisions of this Agreement) shall be paid on that Loan.
     5.2 Net Payments; Application.
     (a) All payments hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, prepayments and repayments pursuant to Section 2) shall be made by the Borrower to the Lender in immediately available, freely transferable, freely convertible same day Dollars (except if and to the extent provided otherwise by this Agreement) at the Closing Office without setoff or counterclaim and in such amounts as may be necessary in order that all such payments (after (i) withholding for or on account of any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties or other similar charges of whatsoever nature imposed on the amounts described above by any government or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, other than any tax (other than such taxes referred to in clause (ii) below) imposed on the Lender pursuant to the income tax laws of the jurisdiction where the Lender’s principal or lending office or offices are located (collectively, the “Taxes”) and (ii) deduction of an amount equal to any taxes on or measured by the net income payable to the Lender with respect to the amount by which the payments required to be made by this Section 5.2 exceed the amount otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement and the Note) shall not be less than the amounts otherwise specified to be paid under this Agreement and the Note. With respect to each such deduction or withholding, the Borrower shall promptly (and in no event later than 30 days thereafter) furnish to the Lender such certificates, receipts and other documents as may be required to establish any tax credit, exemption or reduction in rate to which the Lender or holder of a Note may be entitled. The Lender agrees to furnish the Borrower, as soon as practicable after any written request of the Borrower to such effect, any executed form reasonably requested by the Borrower such as Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, and any other applicable US or UK form as to the Lender’s entitlement, if any, to exemption from, or a reduced rate of, or its subjection to US or UK withholding tax on amounts payable to it hereunder or under the Note and the Lender undertakes to use its best efforts promptly to notify the Borrower of any material change in any information, statement or form so furnished to the Borrower; provided, however, that any failure on the part of the Lender to furnish any such information, statements or forms shall in no way affect the terms of this Agreement or of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Lender fails to furnish any such information, statements or forms, the Borrower shall only pay to the Lender such amounts under this Agreement and the Note as are due without those additions described in clauses (i) and (ii) above that would not have been required had such information, statements or forms been provided in a timely fashion. As promptly as practicable after the Lender becomes aware of the existence or occurrence of an event giving rise to the imposition of US or UK withholding tax upon amounts payable to it hereunder or under the Note, the Lender shall use its best efforts to transfer its Loans or Revolving Credit Loan Commitment to another office of the

11


 

Lender with a view to avoiding or mitigating the consequences of such tax. If the Lender determines that it is unable to effect such transfer on or before the thirtieth day after the date the Lender becomes aware of the existence or occurrence of an event giving rise to the imposition of US or UK withholding tax, the Lender shall promptly give notice of such determination to the Borrower. If the Borrower receives notice of such determination from the Lender, the Borrower may, by notice to the Lender, indicate its intention to prepay the affected Loan in full (but with all premiums, if any, provided for in this Agreement and with interest accrued to the date of prepayment on such Loan and all other amounts then payable to the Lender hereunder) on the tenth Business Day after the date of such notice of intention.

If such an election is so made, the Borrower (i) shall cease to be under any further obligation to pay any such additional amount in respect of such withholding and (ii) shall cease to be entitled so to prepay the Loan by virtue of being required to make such withholding. Any Lender which is or becomes subject to such withholding tax agrees to use its best efforts to provide the Borrower with an affidavit, within 30 days after the Lender files its tax return, setting forth the amount of any tax credit it received with respect thereto.
     (b) Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments under or pursuant to, or in satisfaction of any of the Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or under the Note will be applied in the following order of priority: (i) to any amounts not otherwise listed in this Section 5.2(b) then due and payable under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) to any interest on the Loans then due and payable, (iii) to any principal amount then due on the Loans, and (iv) to reduce the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans.
