THIS AGREEMENT, dated as of June 20, 1996, by and among Hagler
Bailly Consulting, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and State Street Bank and Trust
Company (the "Bank").
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Company and the Bank are parties to that certain Credit
Agreement dated as of May 17, 1995 (the "Credit Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend the Credit Agreement and to
confirm their understanding as to certain matters thereunder as hereinafter set
forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein without definition
which are defined in the Credit Agreement shall have the respective meanings
ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.
2. Amendments to Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby
amended, effective as of December 31, 1995, as follows:
2.1 Section 9 of the Credit Agreement is amended by deleting the
definition of "Current Liabilities" in its entirety and by substituting in lieu
thereof a new definition as follows:
"Current Liabilities: all liabilities of the Parent Company and
its subsidiaries which may be properly classified as current
liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, determined on an Adjusted Consolidated Basis, provided
that Current Liabilities shall not include any liabilities to third
parties who are not officers, employees or Affiliates of the Parent
Company and its subsidiaries to the extent such liabilities are
attributable to services or other work in process which have not
been billed to clients and which have been excluded from the
computation of Current Assets in accordance with the definition of
that term, and provided, further that Current Liabilities shall
include the unpaid principal of the Revolving Credit Loans (whether
or not due within twelve months)."
2.2 The Credit Agreement is further amended by deleting Exhibit C
(being the form of Compliance Certificate) in its entirety and by substituting
therefor a new Exhibit C in the form attached hereto.
3. Limitation on Available Commitment. The Company and the Bank
acknowledge and agree that the conditions set forth in subsection 1.4(d) of the
Credit Agreement
have been satisfied and that the limitation on the amount of the Available
Commitment set forth in such subsection 1.4(d) is terminated effective as of the
date hereof.
4. Prepayment of Term Loan. As contemplated by that certain letter
agreement dated March 18, 1996 between the Company and the Bank (the "Escrow
Letter") the Company caused $500,000 to be deposited (the "Escrow Deposit") with
the Bank in the "Hagler Bailly Consulting, Inc. Escrow Account" referred to
therein (the "Escrow Account"). The Company and the Bank agree that the Escrow
Deposit together with interest accrued thereon in the Escrow Account (net of the
Bank's charge for maintenance of the Escrow Account) shall be applied to the
prepayment of the Term Loan, such prepayment to be applied to installments of
principal payable on the Term Loan in the inverse order of maturity. The
prepayment will take place as soon as practicable following the date hereof and
will coincide with the end of an appropriate LIBOR Period so as to avoid any
LIBOR Premium. Concurrently with such prepayment, the Escrow Account shall be
closed and the provisions of the Escrow Letter with respect to the further
maintenance thereof shall terminate.
5. Miscellaneous.
5.1 As modified hereby, the provisions of the Credit Agreement
shall continue in full force and effect.
5.2 This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each
of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of the
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement
as a sealed instrument as of the date first above written.
