FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, IPG PHOTONICS CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation with a principal place of business at 50 Old Webster Road, Oxford,

BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.,
a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of the United States of
America (the "Bank"), OR ORDER, at its office at 100 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02110, or such other place as the Bank may from time to time specify in writing, the principal
sum of
FIFTY MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000,000.00)
(or so much as may be outstanding from time to time) with interest on the unpaid principal until
paid at the rates and in the manner hereinafter provided in lawful money of the United States of
America in immediately available funds, without counterclaim or set-off and free and clear of,
and without any deduction or withholding for, any taxes or other payments.
This Revolving Credit Note restates in its entirety that certain Revolving Credit Note
dated June 14, 2008, as amended, made by the Borrower to the order of the Bank in the face
amount of $35,000,000.00.
This Revolving Credit Note is issued in conjunction with an Amended and Restated Loan
Agreement by and between the Borrower and the Bank dated as of even date herewith (as may
be amended from time to time, the "Agreement"), all the terms and conditions of which are
incorporated herein by reference. No reference to the Agreement or to any provision thereof
shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay the
principal of and interest on this Revolving Credit Note as herein provided. An Event of Default
under the Agreement shall also constitute an Event of Default hereunder. The occurrence of an
Event of Default shall constitute a default (beyond any applicable grace or cure periods) under
each of the other obligations of the Borrower to the Bank. Capitalized terms used and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement. "$"
or "dollars" denotes lawful currency of the United States of America.
Interest shall be calculated on the daily unpaid principal balance of the indebtedness
evidenced by this Revolving Credit Note computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed over a year of 365/366 days, provided that interest shall be due for the actual number of
days elapsed during each period for which interest is being charged.
Exhibit 10.2
The unpaid principal of this Revolving Credit Note from time to time outstanding shall
bear interest at the applicable rate per annum, at the Borrower's written election from time to
time and in accordance with the provisions of this Revolving Credit Note, as follows:
(a) the LIBOR- Rate (Adjusted Periodically) plus the Applicable Margin (calculated
as set forth below) (a "LIBOR Rate Loan"); or
(b) the Bank's Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin (calculated as set forth below),
fully floating (a "Base Rate Loan").
The Applicable Margin will be based upon calculation by the Bank of Net Leverage, as
follows:
Applicable Margin - | Applicable Margin - | |
Net Leverage | LIBOR Rate | Base Rate |
less than 1.0 to 1.0 | 0.80% | 0% |
equal to or greater than | ||
1.0 to 1.0, but less than | ||
2.0 to 1.0 | 1.00% | 0% |
equal to or greater than | ||
2.0 to 1.0 | 1.20% | 0% |
As used herein, the terms "Funded Debt" and "EBITDA" shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms the Agreement. The Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio shall be measured
as of the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower over a period comprised of the most recent
prior four (4) fiscal quarters of the Borrower.
The Applicable Margin on Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans shall be adjusted as
of fifteen (15) Business Days after the earlier of (x) receipt and review by the Bank of Borrower's compliance certificate as required under Section 5.01(B)(3) of the Agreement or (y) the date on which
the financial covenants set forth in Section 5,01(F) of the Agreement are tested by the Bank. Such adjustments shall apply to Base Rate Loans effective immediately and to LIBOR Rate Loans made on or after the applicable date of the adjustment.
If the Borrower fails to select an interest rate for all or any portion of the unpaid principal
balance of this Revolving Credit Note or if the applicable LIBOR Rate becomes unavailable,
then the interest rate will be the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.
The term "Base Rate" means the higher of (a) the Bank's Prime Rate established from time to time by the Bank or (b) the Federal Funds Rate, fully floating. The "Prime Rate" means that variable per annum rate of interest so designated from time to time by the Bank as its Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is a reference rate and does not necessarily represent the lowest or best rate being charged to any customer. The "Federal Funds Rate" means, for any period, a fluctuating
2
Exhibit 10.2
interest rate equal for each day during such period to the weighted average of the rates on overnight Federal Funds transactions with members of the Federal Reserve System arranged by
federal funds brokers, as published for such day (or, if such day is not a Business Day, for the
next preceding Business Day) by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, if such rate is not so
published for any day which is a Business Day, the average of the quotations for such day on
such transactions received by the Bank from three (3) Federal Funds brokers of recognized
standing selected by the Bank.
"Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or day which shall be in The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts a legal holiday or day on which banking institutions are
required or authorized to close. If any payment under this Revolving Credit Note becomes due
on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date of such payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and
fees in connection with such payment.
The "LIBOR Rate (Adjusted Periodically)" is a rate of interest equal to the rate per annum
equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (or a comparable or successor rate which is
approved by the Bank), as published by Bloomberg (or other commercially available source
providing quotations of such rate as selected by the Bank from time to time) as determined for
each Adjustment Date at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days
prior to the Adjustment Date (a "LIBOR Interest Period"), for U.S. Dollar deposits (for delivery
on the first day of such interest period) with a term, ,upon request by the Borrowers for a
LIBOR Loan, of one (1), two (2) or three (3) months, as adjusted from time to time in the Bank's
sole discretion for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory
costs. Each LIBOR Loan shall be in an amount of integral multiples of $100,000.00. No
LIBOR Interest Period shall extend beyond the Revolving Credit Termination Date (defined
below). A "London Banking Day" is a day on which banks in London are open for business and
dealing in offshore dollars. If at any time the LIBOR Rate (Adjusted Periodically) is less than
zero, such rate shall be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.
Interest on the Base Rate Loans shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of
each calendar month, the first such installment of interest to be due and payable on May 1, 2015.
Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable in full at the end of the applicable LIBOR
Interest Period. All principal, interest and other indebtedness due hereunder if not sooner paid,
shall be due and payable on Apri130, 2020 (the "Revolving Credit Termination Date").
The Borrower may prepay Base Rate Loans in whole or in part without penalty or
premium. The Borrower may prepay a LIBOR Loan only upon at least three (3) Business Days
prior written notice to the Bank (which notice shall be irrevocable). The Borrower shall pay to
the Bank, upon request of the Bank, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the
reasonable opinion of the Bank) to compensate it for any loss, cost, or expense incurred as a
result of: (i) any payment of a LIBOR Loan on a date other than the last day of the LIBOR
Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan; (ii) any failure by the Borrower to borrow a LIBOR Loan
on the date specified by Borrower's written notice; (iii) any failure by the Borrower to pay a
LIBOR Loan on the date for payment specified in the Borrower's written notice. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a "yield maintenance fee" in an
3
Exhibit 10.2
amount computed as follows: The current rate for United States Treasury securities (bills on a
discounted basis shall be converted to a bond equivalent) with a maturity date closest to the term
chosen pursuant to the LIBOR Rate Election as to which the prepayment is made, shall be
subtracted from the LIBOR Rate in effect at the time of prepayment. If the result is zero or a
negative number, there shall be no yield maintenance fee. If the result is a positive number, then
the resulting percentage shall be multiplied by the amount of the principal balance being prepaid.
The resulting amount shall be divided by 360 and multiplied by the number of days remaining
the term chosen pursuant to the LIBOR Rate Election as to which the prepayment is made. Said
amount shall be reduced to present value calculated by using the above referenced United States
Treasury securities rate and the number of days remaining in the term chosen pursuant to the
LIBOR Rate Election as to which prepayment is made. The resulting amount shall be the yield
maintenance fee due to the Bank upon the payment of a LIBOR Loan. Each reference in this
paragraph to "LIBOR Rate Election" shall mean the election by the Borrower of LIBOR Rate. If
by reason of an Event of Default, the Bank elects to declare this Revolving Credit Note
immediately due and payable, then any yield maintenance fee with respect to a LIBOR Loan
shall become due and payable in the same manner as though the Borrower had exercised such
right of prepayment.
If the entire amount of any required principal and/or interest is not paid in full within
fifteen (15) days after the same is due, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank a late fee equal to four
percent (4%) of the required payment. Such late charge payments are made for the purpose of
compensating the Bank for its administrative, costs and expenses in handling late payments and
losses in connection therewith. This provision is not intended to provide a grace period for any
payment otherwise due and payable and shall not constitute a waiver by the Bank to insist upon
the strict performance of any of the Borrower's covenants or agreements with, or obligations to,
the Bank or to declare any event of default for any payment not made when it was due and
payable.
All payments shall be applied first to the payment of all fees, expenses and other amounts
due to the Bank (excluding principal and interest), then to accrued interest, and the balance on
account of outstanding principal; provided, however, that after an Event of Default, payments
will be applied to the obligations of the Borrower to the Bank as the Bank shall determine in its
sole discretion.
Until the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date or the occurrence of an Event
of Default, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder from time to time, provided
that the aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding shall not exceed the face amount of
this Revolving Credit Note.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (whether or not the Bank has accelerated
payment of this Revolving Credit Note), or after the Revolving Credit Termination Date or after
judgment has been rendered on this Revolving Credit Note or any other Obligations under the
Agreement, the Borrower's right to select pricing options shall cease and the unpaid principal of
this Revolving Credit Note, including interest, fees or costs which are not paid when due, will; at
the option of the Bank, bear interest at a rate which is four percent (4%) per annum greater than
4
Exhibit 10.2
the rate of interest which would otherwise be applicable hereunder (the "Default Rate"). This
may result in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.
At its option, and at any time, whether immediately or otherwise, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, the Bank may declare this Revolving Credit Note immediately due and
payable without further action of any kind including notice, further demand or presentment.
The Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank, without liability on the Bank's part, to debit
from time to time from the Automatic Payments Deposit Account the Automatic Payments. If
the funds in the Automatic Payments Deposit Account are insufficient to cover any payment, the
Bank shall not be obligated to advance funds to cover the payment. At any time for any reason,
the Bank may voluntarily terminate Automatic Payments. The Bank shall provide the Borrower
timely notice of any debit made from the Automatic Payments Deposit Account or termination of
Automatic Payments.
Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, (A) the Borrower hereby
authorizes the Bank, at any time and from time to time, without notice, which is hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower, and whether or not the Bank shall have declared any credit subject
hereto to be due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, to set off against,
and to appropriate and apply to the payment of, the Borrower's Obligations (whether matured or
unmatured, fixed or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated), any and all amounts owing by the
Bank to the Borrower (whether payable in U.S. dollars or any other currency, whether matured
or unmatured, and in the case of deposits, whether general or special (except trust and escrow
accounts), time or demand and however evidenced), and (B) pending any such action, to the
extent necessary, to'hold such amounts as collateral to secure such Obligations and to return as
unpaid for insufficient funds any and all checks and other items drawn against any deposits so
held as the Bank, in its sole discretion, may elect. The Borrower hereby grants to the Bank a
security interest in all deposits and accounts maintained with the Bank to secure the payment of
all Obligations of the Borrower to the Bank under this Revolving Credit Note, the Agreement
and all agreements, instruments and documents related to this Revolving Credit Note. TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO REQUIRE THE BANK
TO EXERCISE ITS REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY OTHER COLLATERAL
WHICH SECURES THE OBLIGATIONS PRIOR TO EXERCISING ITS RIGHT OF
SET OFF WITH RESPECT TO SUCH DEPOSITS ARE HEREBY VOLUNTARILY,
INTENTIONALLY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVED.
The Borrower shall pay on demand all expenses of the Bank in connection with the
preparation, administration, default, collection, waiver or amendment of loan terms, or in
connection with the Bank's exercise, preservation or enforcement of any of its rights, remedies
or options hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees of outside legal counsel,
accounting, consulting, brokerage or other similar professional fees or expenses, and any fees or
expenses associated with travel or other costs relating to any appraisals or examinations
conducted in connection with the Loan or any collateral therefor, and the amount of all such
expenses shall, until paid, bear interest at the rate applicable to principal hereunder (including
any Default Rate) and be an obligation secured by any collateral.
