Ladies and Gentlemen:
Concurrently herewith, Hurco Companies, Inc., an Indiana
corporation which directly owns 100% of you ("Hurco Companies"), and NBD Bank,
N.A., a national banking association ("NBD"), and NBD Bank, a Michigan banking
corporation ("NBD Michigan"), have entered into that certain Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement and Amendment to Reimbursement Agreement, dated as of
even date herewith (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"). This letter sets forth
our agreement with respect to the working capital credit facility which The
First National Bank of Chicago, London Branch, and The First National Bank of
Chicago, Frankfurt Branch (collectively, "FCNBD"), are willing to establish for
you (the "Facility"). (References to "you" or "your" in this agreement mean,
individually and not collectively, Hurco Europe Limited, a corporation organized
and existing under the laws of England and Wales ("Hurco Europe"), and Hurco
GmbH Werkzeugmaschinen CIM - Bausteine Vertrieb und Service ("Hurco GmbH")).
1. (a) Subject to the terms hereof, FCNBD agrees to make loans to
you in Dollars or any other Currency under the Facility, through its foreign
branches in London, England, and Frankfurt, Germany (or such other branch or
affiliate as it determines in its sole discretion), during the period ending on
the Expiration Date, the aggregate Dollar Equivalent of the principal amounts of
which do not exceed $5,000,000 outstanding at any one time.
(b) In no event shall the aggregate Dollar Equivalent
of the principal amounts
of the Loans outstanding at any time exceed the lesser of (i) Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000) and (ii) the difference of (x) Twenty-Two Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($22,500,000), minus (y) the Dollar Equivalent of all
debt owed by Hurco Companies to NBD or its affiliates under the Credit
Agreement.
(c) The commitment of NBD to make the Loans is subject
to the execution of the
Credit Agreement and the condition precedent that no default under Section 11 of
this agreement, and no event or condition which might become such a default with
notice or lapse of time, or both, shall exist or shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date such Loan is to be made. Hurco Europe and Hurco GmbH
shall be deemed to have made a representation to that effect when requesting a
Loan. A request for a loan must be made by you, or on your behalf by Hurco
Companies, by telephone to the London Branch of FCNBD, to be confirmed in
writing mailed the same day and signed by an authorized officer of you or Hurco
Companies, as the case may be, at least three Business Days prior to making any
Fixed Rate Loan and at least one Business Day prior to making any Floating Rate
Loan. Each request shall identify which one of you is the borrower, the Currency
of the proposed loan or that the loan is to be in Dollars, the amount of the
proposed loan (which must be in a minimum principal amount the Dollar Equivalent
of which is acceptable to FCNBD or the relevant foreign branch or affiliate),
the type of loan (whether a Fixed Rate Loan or a Floating Rate Loan), the
Eurocurrency Interest Period, if applicable, and the date the requested loan is
to be made.
(d) Upon the above conditions being satisfied, FCNBD
shall make the requested
loan in accordance with procedures agreed upon among FCNBD, the borrower, and
Hurco Companies. Each loan shall be evidenced by entries upon the books and
records of NBD's main office or of FCNBD's foreign branch disbursing the loan.
FCNBD shall, and is authorized by you to, endorse on its books and records the
date and amount of each loan hereunder, the applicable Currencies (or for Dollar
loans, that they are in Dollars), the interest rate and interest period with
respect to each loan, and the amount of each principal and interest payment
thereon, which books and records shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof;
provided, however, that the failure of FCNBD to record, or any error in
recording, any such information shall not relieve any borrower of its obligation
to repay the outstanding principal amount of the loans to it, all accrued
interest thereon, and other amounts payable with respect thereto in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Each Fixed Rate Loan shall be due and payable at
the end of the Eurocurrency
Interest Period relating thereto. Any Loan which is a Fixed Rate Loan shall
automatically be converted into a Fixed Rate Loan bearing a Eurocurrency
Interest Period of one month at the end of the applicable Eurocurrency Interest
Period unless the Loan is properly renewed as a Fixed Rate Loan prior to such
time. Each Floating Rate Loan shall be due and payable on the Expiration Date.
Upon proper notice given in accordance with the time periods set forth in
Paragraph 1(c), any Loan may be converted from a Fixed Rate Loan to a Floating
Rate Loan, or vice versa, effective upon the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date relating to such Loan (or, with respect to a Fixed Rate Loan having a
six-month Eurocurrency Interest Period, at the end of the Eurocurrency Interest
Period). The borrower of each loan shall pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of the loan, for the period commencing on the date the loan is made until
the loan is paid in full, on each Interest Payment Date, and at maturity
(whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), and thereafter on
demand. All loans not paid in full when due, either at maturity, upon demand, or
otherwise, shall bear interest at the Overdue Rate until paid. Hurco Companies
may request loans on your behalf in accordance with the terms of this agreement
at any time prior to the Expiration Date.
2. (a) All payments of principal of and interest on the loans and
other amounts payable by either borrower hereunder shall be made by such
borrower without setoff or counterclaim, and free and clear of, and without
deduction or withholding for, or on account of, any present or future taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments, or other charges of whatever nature,
imposed by any governmental authority, or by any department, agency, or other
political subdivision or taxing authority.
(b) The borrowers agree to pay to FCNBD a facility
fee during the term of this
Agreement, calculated on a per annum rate equal to fifteen one-hundredths of one
percent (.15%) of $5,000,000. Accrued facility fees shall be payable quarterly
in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, commencing on the first such date
occurring after the date hereof, and on the Expiration Date.
3. Except as otherwise provided in this agreement to the contrary,
whenever any installment of principal of, or interest on, any loan or any other
amount due hereunder becomes due and payable on a day which is not a Business
Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
and, in the case of any installment of principal, interest shall be payable
thereon at the rate per annum determined in accordance with this agreement
during such extension. Computations of interest and other amounts due under this
agreement shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days, or, in the case of
any loan in Pounds Sterling, 365 days, for the actual number of days elapsed,
including the first day but excluding the last day of the relevant period.
4. In the event that any applicable law, treaty, rule, or
regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether
or not presently applicable to FCNBD, or any interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by FCNBD with any guideline, request or
directive of any such authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall
(i) affect the basis of taxation of payments to FCNBD of any amounts payable by
any borrower under this agreement (other than taxes imposed on the overall net
income of FCNBD by the jurisdiction, or by any political subdivision or taxing
authority of any such jurisdiction, in which FCNBD has its principal office), or
(ii) shall impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, or
similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
credit extended by FCNBD, or (iii) shall impose any other condition with respect
to this agreement or any loan made hereunder, and the result of any of the
foregoing is to increase the cost to FCNBD of making, funding, or maintaining
any Fixed Rate Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum receivable by FCNBD
thereon, then the borrower of the loan shall pay to FCNBD from time to time,
upon request by FCNBD, additional amounts sufficient to compensate FCNBD for
such increased cost or reduced sum receivable to the extent, in the case of any
Fixed Rate Loan, FCNBD is not compensated therefor in the interest rate
applicable to such Fixed Rate Loan. Any such additional amounts resulting from
the reserve requirements imposed by the Bank of England on a loan made from
FCNBD's London Branch shall be calculated in accordance with Schedule One
attached hereto. A statement as to the amount of such increased cost or reduced
sum receivable, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by FCNBD, and
submitted by FCNBD to a borrower, shall be presumptively deemed correct.
5. In the event that any applicable law, treaty, rule, or
regulation (whether domestic or foreign) now or hereafter in effect and whether
or not presently applicable to FCNBD, or any interpretation or administration
thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by FCNBD with any guideline, request, or
directive of such authority (whether or not having the force of law), including
without limitation exchange controls, shall make it unlawful or impossible for
FCNBD to maintain any Fixed Rate Loan to you under this agreement, upon
receiving notice thereof from FCNBD, the borrower of the loan shall repay in
full the then-outstanding principal amount of the affected loan, together with
all accrued interest thereon to the date of payment and all amounts owing to
FCNBD under Paragraph 6 hereof, (a) on the next Interest Payment Date applicable
to the loan if FCNBD may lawfully continue to maintain the loan to such day, or
(b) immediately if FCNBD may not continue to maintain the loan to such day.
6. If you make any payment of principal with respect to any Fixed
Rate Loan on any date other than the last day of a Eurocurrency Interest Period
applicable thereto, or if you fail to borrow any loan after notice has been
given to FCNBD in accordance with Paragraph 1 hereof and agreement to make the
loan has been reached, or if you fail to make any payment of principal or
interest in respect of a loan when due, you shall, in addition to any amounts
that may be payable pursuant to Paragraph 4 or 5 hereof, reimburse FCNBD on
demand for any resulting loss or expense incurred by FCNBD, including without
limitation any loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating, or employing deposits
from third parties, whether or not FCNBD shall have funded or committed to fund
the loan. A statement as to the amount of such loss or expense, prepared in good
faith and in reasonable detail by FCNBD and submitted by FCNBD to you, shall be
presumptively deemed correct. Calculation of all amounts payable to FCNBD under
this Paragraph shall be made as though FCNBD shall have actually funded or
committed to fund the relevant loan through purchasing an underlying deposit in
an amount equal to the amount of the loan and having a maturity comparable to
the related Eurocurrency Interest Period; provided, however, that FCNBD may fund
any loan in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be
utilized only for the purpose of calculating amounts payable under this
Paragraph.

Agreement to FCNBD. As of the date of this agreement, each loan to you under the
Prior Credit Agreement outstanding as of such date shall be deemed a loan to you
under this agreement, bearing interest at the interest rate existing on such
date under the Prior Credit Agreement for the then-remaining interest period. As
of the date of this agreement, all accrued and unpaid interest on any loan made
to you under the Prior Credit Agreement outstanding as of such date shall be
deemed accrued on such loans deemed made under this agreement. Each such loan
and such accrued and unpaid interest deemed outstanding under this agreement
pursuant to this Paragraph shall be evidenced by entries upon the books and
records of FCNBD or the relevant foreign branch as provided in Paragraph 1
hereof. Each of you consents to amending and restating the Prior Credit
Agreement in the form of this agreement, and agrees that as of the date of this
agreement, the Prior Credit Agreement is terminated as to you, and you shall
have no rights thereunder.
15. This agreement embodies the entire agreement and
understanding between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, relating to the subject matter hereof. In case any one or more
of your obligations under this agreement shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of
your remaining obligations shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby,
and such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in one jurisdiction shall
not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of your obligations under
this agreement in any other jurisdiction.
16. You shall pay FCNBD's expenses, including without limitation
the fees and expenses (not to exceed such amount as Hurco Companies and FCNBD
may agree) of its counsel, Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Xxxxxxx, in
connection with preparing, executing, delivering and administering this
agreement and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, and all stamp
and other taxes payable in connection herewith.
17. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of England and Wales, provided, that the law of the
jurisdiction where a loan hereunder is made shall govern with respect to the
terms of such loan.
18. This agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which
taken together shall constitute one agreement. Execution may be effected by
facsimile signature.
