The disclosure set forth under Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is
incorporated by reference herein.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On September 21, 2004, Michael Baker Corporation (the "Company") announced that
the Company had entered into a $60 million revolving credit facility dated
September 17, 2004, with a bank group led by Citizens Bank of Pennsylvania, and
joined by PNC Bank, N.A. and Fifth Third Bank. The new agreement increases the
Company's credit capacity by $20 million. The credit facility will be used by
the Company for working capital and capital expenditure needs, for acquisitions,
and for other general corporate purposes. The credit facility includes a $15
million sub-facility for the issuance of letters of credit. The credit facility
has a four-year term ending September 17, 2008.
Interest on the revolving credit loans will, at the option of the Company, be
based on prime or LIBOR rates.
The agreement contains usual and customary negative covenants for transactions
of this type, as well as financial covenants regarding minimum owners equity,
leverage ratio, interest and rent coverage ratio and current ratio. The
agreement also contains usual and customary provisions regarding acceleration.
In the event of certain defaults by the Company under the credit facility, the
lenders will have no further obligation to extend credit and, in some cases, any
amounts owed by the Company under the credit facility will automatically become
immediately due and payable.
