Matrix Service Company
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Matrix Service Company (“Matrix”, “we”, “our”, “us”, “its” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. The information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, cash flows and financial position for the interim periods presented. The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2019, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. The results of operations for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending June 30, 2020.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company has updated its significant accounting policies to include its lease accounting policy as a result of adopting the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) on July 1, 2019. The Company's other significant accounting policies are detailed in “Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019.
Leases
Adoption of New Leases Standard
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under this guidance, lessees are required to recognize virtually all leases on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and an associated operating lease liability or finance lease liability. The right-of-use asset represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the specified lease term. The lease liability represents the lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, measured on a discounted basis. Based on certain characteristics, leases are classified as operating leases or finance leases. Operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets are adjusted to result in a single straight-line lease expense over the life of the lease. Finance lease liabilities and right-of-use assets, which contain provisions similar to capital leases under the prior accounting standards, result in the recognition of interest expense on the lease liability and amortization expense on the right-of-use asset over the term of the lease.
On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method. The modified retrospective method permits the Company to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for existing leases as of the date of adoption rather than at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets of $24.6 million and operating lease liabilities of $25.8 million as of July 1, 2019. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s retained earnings, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Financial results reported in prior periods are unchanged and reflect the prior lease accounting standards in place at the time.
The Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance for the new standard, which among other things, allowed the Company to carry forward the historical lease classification of its existing leases. All of the Company's existing leases were classified as operating leases prior to adoption and have retained this classification after adoption. In addition, the Company elected not to utilize the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases at adoption.

Lease Accounting Policy
The Company enters into lease arrangements for real estate, construction equipment and information technology equipment in the normal course of business. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the arrangement. An arrangement is determined to be a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of identified property or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. If certain criteria are satisfied, the lease is classified as a financing lease. If none of these criteria are satisfied, the lease is considered an operating lease. All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases.
Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized as the present value of future lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date, plus any lease payments made prior to commencement, and less any lease incentives received. Operating right-of-use assets are presented as noncurrent in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating lease liabilities are recognized as the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date and are presented as current and noncurrent in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.
The lease term used to measure the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities is generally the non-cancelable lease term for real estate leases and information technology equipment. Construction equipment is typically rented on a "month-to-month" basis and the lease term is estimated based on the expected duration of the rental. An option to renew or terminate a lease is included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. Renewal options for real estate leases are typically for five years or less.
Future lease payments are discounted based on the Company's estimate of its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments.
Determinations with respect to lease term, including any renewals, incremental borrowing rate, and future lease payments require the use of judgment based on the facts and circumstances related to each lease. The Company considers various factors, including economic incentives, intent, past history and business need, to determine the likelihood that a renewal option will be exercised.
After the commencement date, operating lease expense is recognized based on the undiscounted future lease payments over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. Lease expense related to short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense is included in cost of revenue and in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
See Note 3 - Leases for the required periodic disclosures about the Company's leases.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which will change how the Company accounts for credit losses, including those related to its trade accounts receivable. The amendments in this update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The income statement will reflect any increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount.
Current GAAP delays the recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss is probable of occurring. The amendments in this update eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, instead, reflect the Company's current estimate of all expected credit losses. In addition, current guidance limits the information the Company may consider in measuring a credit loss to its past events and current conditions.
The amendments in this update broaden the information the Company may consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate to include forecasted information. The Company will adopt these amendments on July 1, 2020. The Company must apply the amendments in this update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. At this time, the Company does not expect this update will have a material impact on its estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts.

Note 2 – Revenue
Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company had $756.7 million of remaining performance obligations yet to be satisfied as of September 30, 2019. The Company expects to recognize approximately $637.6 million of its remaining performance obligations as revenue within the next twelve months.
Contract Balances
Contract terms with customers include the timing of billing and payment, which usually differs from the timing of revenue recognition. As a result, we carry contract assets and liabilities in our balance sheet. These contract assets and liabilities are calculated on a contract-by-contract basis and reported on a net basis at the end of each period and are classified as current. We present our contract assets in the balance sheet as Costs and Estimated Earnings in Excess of Billings on Uncompleted Contracts ("CIE"). CIE consists of revenue recognized in excess of billings. We present our contract liabilities in the balance sheet as Billings on Uncompleted Contracts in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings ("BIE"). BIE consists of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. The following table provides information about CIE and BIE:

The difference between the beginning and ending balances of the Company's CIE and BIE primarily results from the timing of revenue recognized relative to its billings. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2019 that was included in the prior period BIE balance was $72.0 million. This revenue consists primarily of work performed during the period on contracts with customers that had advance billings.
Progress billings in accounts receivable at September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019 included retentions to be collected within one year of $31.3 million and $21.9 million, respectively. Contract retentions collectible beyond one year are included in other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and totaled $10.4 million as of September 30, 2019 and $17.7 million as of June 30, 2019.

Typically, the Company assumes more risk with fixed-price contracts since increases in cost to perform the work may not be recoverable. However, these types of contracts typically offer higher profits than time and materials and other cost reimbursable contracts when completed at or below the costs originally estimated. The profitability of time and materials and other cost reimbursable contracts is typically lower than fixed-price contracts and is usually less volatile than fixed-price contracts since the profit component is factored into the rates charged for labor, equipment and materials, or is expressed in the contract as a percentage of the reimbursable costs incurred.
Note 3 – Leases
The Company enters into lease arrangements for real estate, construction equipment and information technology equipment in the normal course of business. Real estate leases accounted for approximately 83% of all right-of-use assets as of September 30, 2019. Most real estate and information technology equipment leases generally have fixed payments that follow an agreed upon payment schedule and have remaining lease terms ranging from less than a year to 16 years. Construction equipment leases generally have "month-to-month" lease terms that automatically renew as long as the equipment remains in use.

The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually in May. The Company did not note any impairment indicators as of September 30, 2019. However, if our market view of project opportunities or gross margins deteriorates, then an interim goodwill impairment test will be performed, which could result in the recognition of an impairment to goodwill.

Note 5 – Debt
On February 8, 2017, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company and certain foreign subsidiaries, as Borrowers, various subsidiaries of the Company, as Guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, and the other Lenders party thereto.
The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility of $300.0 million that expires February 8, 2022. The credit facility may be used for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, issuances of letters of credit and other lawful purposes.
The Credit Agreement includes the following covenants and borrowing limitations:
Our Leverage Ratio, determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter, may not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.
We are required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter, greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00.
Asset dispositions (other than dispositions in which all of the net cash proceeds therefrom are reinvested into the Company and dispositions of inventory and obsolete or unneeded equipment in the ordinary course of business) are limited to $20.0 million per 12-month period.
The credit facility includes a sublimit for revolving loans and letters of credit denominated in Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling in an aggregate amount not to exceed the U.S. Dollar equivalent of $75.0 million and a $200.0 million sublimit for total letters of credit.
Each revolving borrowing under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to:
The ABR or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in U.S. Dollars;
The Canadian Prime Rate or the CDOR rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Canadian Dollars;
The Adjusted LIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or Australian Dollars; or
The EURIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Euros,

in each case, plus the Applicable Margin, which is based on the Company's Leverage Ratio. The Applicable Margin on ABR loans ranges between 0.625% and 1.625%. The Applicable Margin for Adjusted LIBO, EURIBO and CDOR loans ranges between 1.625% and 2.625% and the Applicable Margin for Canadian Prime Rate loans ranges between 2.125% and 3.125%.
The unused credit facility fee is between 0.25% and 0.45% based on the Leverage Ratio.

The Credit Agreement includes a Leverage Ratio covenant, which provides that Consolidated Funded Indebtedness, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, may not exceed 3.0 times Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, or "Covenant EBITDA," over the previous four quarters. For the four quarters ended September 30, 2019, Covenant EBITDA was $75.9 million. Consolidated Funded Indebtedness at September 30, 2019 was $59.4 million.

Note 6 – Income Taxes
Effective Tax Rate
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 30.6%, compared to 16.4% for the same period a year ago. We expected our fiscal 2020 effective tax rate to be approximately 27.0%. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2020 was negatively impacted by $0.3 million of excess tax expense related to the vesting of stock-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was positively impacted by $0.3 million of excess tax benefits related to the vesting of stock-based compensation.
Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance Reserves
The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of its operations. However, exposure to potential losses is retained through the use of deductibles, self-insured retentions and coverage limits.
Typically, our contracts require us to indemnify our customers for injury, damage or loss arising from the performance of our services and provide warranties for materials and workmanship. The Company may also be required to name the customer as an additional insured up to the limits of insurance available, or we may be required to purchase special insurance policies or surety bonds for specific customers or provide letters of credit in lieu of bonds to satisfy performance and financial guarantees on some projects. Matrix maintains a performance and payment bonding line sufficient to support the business. The Company generally requires its subcontractors to indemnify the Company and the Company’s customer and name the Company as an additional insured for activities arising out of the subcontractors’ work. We also require certain subcontractors to provide additional insurance policies, including surety bonds in favor of the Company, to secure the subcontractors’ work or as required by the subcontract.
There can be no assurance that our insurance and the additional insurance coverage provided by our subcontractors will fully protect us against a valid claim or loss under the contracts with our customers.
Unpriced Change Orders and Claims
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for unpriced change orders and claims of $8.5 million at September 30, 2019 and $10.1 million at June 30, 2019. Generally, collection of amounts related to unpriced change orders and claims is expected within twelve months. However, since customers may not pay these amounts until final resolution of related claims, collection of these amounts may extend beyond one year.

Note 9 – Segment Information
We operate our business through four reportable segments: Electrical Infrastructure; Oil Gas & Chemical; Storage Solutions; and Industrial.
The Electrical Infrastructure segment consists of power delivery services provided to investor owned utilities, including construction of new substations, upgrades of existing substations, short-run transmission line installations, distribution upgrades and maintenance, as well as emergency and storm restoration services. We also provide construction and maintenance services to a variety of power generation facilities, such as combined cycle plants and other natural gas fired power stations.
The Oil Gas & Chemical segment serves customers primarily in the downstream and midstream petroleum industries who are engaged in refining crude oil and processing, fractionating, and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids. We also perform work in the petrochemical, upstream petroleum, and sulfur extraction, recovery and processing markets. Our services include plant maintenance, turnarounds, engineering and capital construction. We also offer industrial cleaning services, including hydro-blasting, hydro-excavating, advanced chemical cleaning and vacuum services.
The Storage Solutions segment consists of work related to aboveground storage tanks ("AST") and terminals. Also included in this segment are cryogenic and other specialty storage tanks and terminals including liquefied natural gas, liquid nitrogen/liquid oxygen, liquid petroleum and other specialty vessels such as spheres as well as marine structures and truck and rail loading/offloading facilities. Our services include engineering, fabrication and construction, and maintenance and repair, which includes planned and emergency services for both tanks and full terminals. Finally, we offer AST products, including geodesic domes, aluminum internal floating roofs, floating suction and skimmer systems, roof drain systems and floating roof seals.
The Industrial segment consists of work for integrated iron and steel companies, major mining and minerals companies engaged primarily in the extraction of copper, as well as companies in other industries, including aerospace and defense, cement, and agriculture and grain. Our services include engineering, fabrication and construction, and maintenance and repair, which includes planned and emergency services. We also design instrumentation and control systems and offer specialized expertise in the design and construction of bulk material handling systems.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on operating income. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies footnote included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2019 and in Note 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost; therefore, no intersegment profit or loss is recognized.
Segment assets consist primarily of accounts receivable, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, property, plant and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, goodwill and other intangible assets.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except for the new accounting policy for leases described below, there have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our fiscal 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. For more information on our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7 of our fiscal 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following section provides certain information with respect to our critical accounting policies as of the close of our most recent quarterly period.
Revenue Recognition
General Information about our Contracts with Customers
Our revenues come from contracts to provide engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction, repair and maintenance and other services. Our engineering, procurement and fabrication and construction services are usually provided in association with capital projects, which commonly are fixed price contracts and are billed based on project milestones. Our repair and maintenance services typically are cost reimbursable or time and material based contracts and are billed monthly or, for projects of short duration, at the conclusion of the project. The elapsed time from award to completion of performance may be in excess of one year for capital projects.
Step 1: Contract Identification
We do not recognize revenue unless we have identified a contract with a customer. A contract with a customer exists when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights and obligations of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collectibility is probable. We also evaluate whether a contract should be combined with other contracts and accounted for as one single contract. This evaluation requires judgment and could change the timing of the amount of revenue and profit recorded for a given period.
Step 2: Identify Performance Obligations
Next, we identify each performance obligation in the contract. A performance obligation is a promise to provide a distinct good or service or a series of distinct goods or services to the customer. Revenue is recognized separately for each performance obligation in the contract. Many of our contracts have one clearly identifiable performance obligation. However, many of our contracts provide the customer an integrated service that includes two or more of the following services: engineering, procurement, fabrication, construction, repair and maintenance services. For these contracts, we do not consider the integrated services to be distinct within the context of the contract when the separate scopes of work combine into a single commercial objective or capability for the customer. Accordingly, we generally identify one performance obligation in our contracts. The determination of the number of performance obligations in a contract requires significant judgment and could change the timing of the amount of revenue recorded for a given period.
Step 3: Determine Contract Price
After determining the performance obligations in the contract, we determine the contract price. The contract price is the amount of consideration we expect to receive from the customer for completing the performance obligation(s). In a fixed price contract, the contract price is a single lump-sum amount. In reimbursable and time and materials based contracts, the contract price is determined by the agreed upon rates or reimbursements for time and materials expended in completing the performance obligation(s) in the contract.
A number of our contracts contain various cost and performance incentives and penalties that can either increase or decrease the contract price. These variable consideration amounts are generally earned or incurred based on certain performance metrics, most commonly related to project schedule or cost targets. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount of additional consideration to be received (or paid in the case of penalties), provided that meeting the variable condition is probable. We include estimated amounts of variable consideration in the contract price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the contract price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us. We reassess the amount of variable consideration each accounting period until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Changes in the assessed amount of variable consideration are accounted for prospectively as a cumulative adjustment to revenue recognized in the current period.

Step 4: Assign Contract Price to Performance Obligations
After determining the contract price, we assign such price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract. If a contract has multiple performance obligations, we assign the contract price to each performance obligation based on the stand-alone selling prices of the distinct services that comprise each performance obligation.
Step 5: Recognize Revenue as Performance Obligations are Satisfied
We record revenue for contracts with our customers as we satisfy the contracts' performance obligations. We recognize revenue on performance obligations associated with fixed price contracts for engineering, procurement and construction services over time since these services create or enhance assets the customer controls as they are being created or enhanced. We measure progress of satisfying these performance obligations by using the percentage-of-completion method, which is based on costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated costs at completion, since it best depicts the transfer of control of assets being created or enhanced to the customer.
We recognize revenue over time for reimbursable and time and material based repair and maintenance contracts since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit of those services as we perform work under the contract. As a practical expedient allowed under ASC 606, we record revenue for these contracts in the amount to which we have a right to invoice for the services performed provided that we have a right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the performance completed to date.
Costs incurred may include direct labor, direct materials, subcontractor costs and indirect costs, such as salaries and benefits, supplies and tools, equipment costs and insurance costs. Indirect costs are charged to projects based upon direct costs and overhead allocation rates per dollar of direct costs incurred or direct labor hours worked. Typically, customer contracts will include standard warranties that provide assurance that products and services will function as expected. The Company does not sell separate warranties.
We have numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion which require estimates to determine the forecasted costs at completion. Due to the nature of the work left to be performed on many of our contracts, the estimation of total cost at completion for fixed price contracts is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. Estimates of total cost at completion are made each period and changes in these estimates are accounted for prospectively as cumulative adjustments to revenue recognized in the current period. If estimates of costs to complete fixed price contracts indicate a loss, a provision is made through a contract write-down for the total loss anticipated.
Change Orders
Contracts are often modified through change orders, which are changes to the agreed upon scope of work. Most of our change orders, which may be priced or unpriced, are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration of services provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a change order on the contract price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. For unpriced change orders, we estimate the increase or decrease to the contract price using the variable consideration method described in the Step 3: Determine Contract Price paragraph above. Unpriced change orders are more fully discussed in Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies.
Claims
Sometimes we seek claims for amounts in excess of the contract price for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or other causes of additional costs incurred by us. Recognition of amounts as additional contract price related to claims is appropriate only if there is a legal basis for the claim. The determination of our legal basis for a claim requires significant judgment. We estimate the change to the contract price using the variable consideration method described in the Step 3: Determine Contract Price paragraph above. Claims are more fully discussed in Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies.
Unpriced Change Orders and Claims
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for unpriced change orders and claims of $8.5 million at September 30, 2019 and $10.1 million at June 30, 2019. The amounts ultimately realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings.

Loss Contingencies
Various legal actions, claims, and other contingencies arise in the normal course of our business. Contingencies are recorded in the consolidated financial statements, or are otherwise disclosed, in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 450-20, “Loss Contingencies”. Specific reserves are provided for loss contingencies to the extent we conclude that a loss is both probable and estimable. We use a case-by-case evaluation of the underlying data and update our evaluation as further information becomes known. We believe that any amounts exceeding our recorded accruals should not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the results of litigation are inherently unpredictable and the possibility exists that the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters could result in a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Legal costs are expensed as incurred.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the acquisition date fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired. In accordance with current accounting guidance, goodwill is not amortized, but is tested at least annually for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is a level below our reportable segments.
We perform our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year to determine whether an impairment exists and to determine the amount of headroom. We define "headroom" as the percentage difference between the fair value of a reporting unit and its carrying value. The goodwill impairment test involves comparing management’s estimate of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, then goodwill is not impaired. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then goodwill is impaired to the extent of the difference, but the impairment may not exceed the balance of goodwill assigned to that reporting unit.
We utilize a discounted cash flow analysis, referred to as an income approach, and market multiples, referred to as a market approach, to determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units. For the income approach, significant judgments and assumptions including forecasted project awards, discount rate, anticipated revenue growth rate, gross margins, operating expenses, working capital needs and capital expenditures are inherent in the fair value estimates, which are based on our operating and capital budgets and on our strategic plan. As a result, actual results may differ from the estimates utilized in our income approach. For the market approach, significant judgments and assumptions include the selection of guideline companies, forecasted guideline company EBITDA and our forecasted EBITDA. The use of alternate judgments and/or assumptions could result in a fair value that differs from our estimate and could result in the recognition of additional impairment charges in the financial statements. As a test for reasonableness, we also consider the combined carrying values of our reporting units to our market capitalization.
The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually in May. The Company did not note any impairment indicators as of September 30, 2019. However, if our market view of project opportunities or gross margins deteriorates, then an interim goodwill impairment test will be performed, which could result in the recognition of an impairment to goodwill.
Income Taxes
We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances based on our judgments and estimates are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized in future operating results. Company management believes that realization of deferred tax assets in excess of the valuation allowance is more likely than not. Our estimates are based on facts and circumstances in existence as well as interpretations of existing tax regulations and laws applied to the facts and circumstances, with the help of professional tax advisors. Therefore, we estimate and provide for amounts of additional income taxes that may be assessed by the various taxing authorities.

Leases
The Company enters into lease arrangements for real estate, construction equipment and information technology equipment in the normal course of business. The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception of the arrangement. An arrangement is determined to be a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of identified property and equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Operating lease right-of-use assets are recognized as the present value of future lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date, plus any lease payments made prior to commencement, and less any lease incentives received. Operating lease liabilities are recognized as the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term as of the commencement date. Operating lease expense is recognized based on the undiscounted future lease payments over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. Lease expense related to short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Determinations with respect to lease term (including any renewals and terminations), incremental borrowing rate used to discount lease payments, variable lease expense and future lease payments require the use of judgment based on the facts and circumstances related to each lease. The Company considers various factors, including economic incentives, intent, past history and business need, to determine the likelihood that a renewal option will be exercised.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, which will change how the Company accounts for its allowance for uncollectible accounts. The amendments in this update require a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The income statement will reflect any increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectibility of the reported amount.

Current GAAP delays the recognition of the full amount of credit losses until the loss is probable of occurring. The amendments in this update eliminate the probable initial recognition threshold and, instead, reflect the Company's current estimate of all expected credit losses. In addition, current guidance limits the information the Company may consider in measuring a credit loss to its past events and current conditions.

The amendments in this update broaden the information the Company may consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate to include forecasted information. The amendments in this update are effective for the Company on July 1, 2020. The Company must apply the amendments in this update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. At this time, the Company does not expect this update to have a material impact to its estimate of the allowance for uncollectible accounts.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018
Consolidated
Consolidated revenue was $338.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $318.5 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. On a segment basis, consolidated revenue increased in the Storage Solutions and Industrial segments by $37.3 million and $13.4 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by decreases in consolidated revenue for the Oil Gas & Chemical and Electrical Infrastructure segments of $18.0 million and $13.2 million, respectively.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $32.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $23.4 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Gross margin increased to 9.6% in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 7.4% in the same period in the prior fiscal year. Fiscal 2020 gross margin was positively impacted by strong project execution in the Storage Solutions segment. In the Electrical Infrastructure and Oil Gas & Chemical segments, results were negatively impacted by lower than previously expected margins on a project in each of these segments and lower revenues in both segments, which led to the under recovery of construction overhead costs.
Consolidated SG&A expenses were $23.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $21.2 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase was primarily due to improved operating results, which led to higher incentive compensation expense, and other investments to support the business.
Interest expense was $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $0.3 million in the same period a year ago. The increase was due to a higher average debt balance during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Interest income was $0.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $0.3 million in the same period a year ago due to an increase in our average cash balance.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2019 was 30.6%, compared to 16.4% for the same period a year ago. We expected our fiscal 2020 effective tax rate to be approximately 27.0%. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2020 was negatively impacted by $0.3 million of excess tax expense related to the vesting of stock-based compensation. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was positively impacted by $0.3 million of excess tax benefits related to the vesting of stock-based compensation.
For the three months ended September 30, 2019, net income and the related fully diluted earnings per share were $6.2 million and $0.22, compared to $2.3 million and $0.08 in the same period a year earlier.
Electrical Infrastructure
Revenue for the Electrical Infrastructure segment decreased $13.2 million to $31.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $44.7 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease is primarily due to lower volumes of power delivery and power generation package work. The segment gross margin was 0.3% in fiscal 2020 and 7.6% in fiscal 2019. The fiscal 2020 segment gross margin was negatively impacted by a charge on a transmission and distribution upgrade project due to lower than expected productivity and craft retention incentives, and lower volumes, which led to the under recovery of construction overhead costs. The fiscal 2019 segment gross margin was negatively impacted by lower margin work awarded during a period of increased competition and under recovery of construction overhead costs due to lower than anticipated volumes.

Table of Contents





Oil Gas & Chemical
Revenue for the Oil Gas & Chemical segment was $57.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $75.5 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease of $18.0 million is primarily due to lower volumes of capital, turnaround, and repair and maintenance work. The segment gross margin was 6.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 7.5% in the same period last year. The fiscal 2020 segment gross margin was negatively impacted by a lower than previously expected margin on a capital project due to purchased equipment that was found to be under performing during start-up and commissioning. In addition, lower volumes led to the under recovery of construction overhead costs. The fiscal 2019 segment gross margin was negatively impacted by a higher mix of lower margin maintenance work, partially offset by higher volumes, which led to better recovery of overhead costs.
Storage Solutions
Revenue for the Storage Solutions segment was $150.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $112.8 million in the same period a year earlier, an increase of $37.3 million. The increase in segment revenue is primarily a result of increased tank and terminal construction work, and higher levels of repair and maintenance spending. The segment gross margin was 14.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 8.5% in the three months ended September 30, 2018. The fiscal 2020 segment gross margin was positively impacted by strong project execution on large capital projects. The fiscal 2019 segment gross margin was negatively impacted by a mix of lower margin work that was bid in a highly competitive environment in prior periods and lower than previously forecasted margins on a limited number of those projects.
Industrial
Revenue for the Industrial segment increased $13.4 million to $99.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $85.6 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to higher volumes of iron and steel work, partially offset by lower volumes of thermal vacuum chamber work. The segment gross margin was 7.8% in the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 5.7% in the same period a year earlier. The fiscal 2020 segment gross margin was positively impacted by good project execution on both capital and repair and maintenance work. The fiscal 2019 segment gross margin was negatively impacted by lower than previously forecasted margins on a thermal vacuum chamber project.
Backlog
We define backlog as the total dollar amount of revenue that we expect to recognize as a result of performing work that has been awarded to us through a signed contract, limited notice to proceed or other type of assurance that we consider firm. The following arrangements are considered firm:

fixed-price awards;

minimum customer commitments on cost plus arrangements; and

certain time and material arrangements in which the estimated value is firm or can be estimated with a reasonable amount of certainty in both timing and amounts.
For long-term maintenance contracts with no minimum commitments and other established customer agreements, we include only the amounts that we expect to recognize as revenue over the next 12 months. For arrangements in which we have received a limited notice to proceed, we include the entire scope of work in our backlog if we conclude that the likelihood of the full project proceeding is high. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated contract amount less revenues recognized as of the reporting date.

Calculated by dividing project awards by revenue recognized during the period.
Project awards in all segments are cyclical and are typically the result of a sales process that can take several months or years to complete. It is common for awards to shift from one period to another as the timing of awards is dependent upon a number of factors including changes in market conditions, permitting, off take agreements, project financing and other factors. Backlog volatility may increase for some segments from time to time when individual project awards are less frequent, but more significant. The level of awards presented above only represents an interim period and may not be indicative of full year awards.
Seasonality and Other Factors
Our operating results can exhibit seasonal fluctuations, especially in our Oil Gas & Chemical segment, for a variety of reasons. Turnarounds and planned outages at customer facilities are typically scheduled in the spring and the fall when the demand for energy is lower. Within the Electrical Infrastructure segment, transmission and distribution work is generally scheduled by the public utilities when the demand for electricity is at its lowest. Therefore, revenue volume in the summer months is typically lower than in other periods throughout the year.
Our business can also be affected, both positively and negatively, by seasonal factors such as energy demand or weather conditions including hurricanes, snowstorms, and abnormally low or high temperatures. Some of these seasonal factors may cause some of our offices and projects to close or reduce activities temporarily. In addition to the above noted factors, the general timing of project starts and completions could exhibit significant fluctuations. Accordingly, results for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of operating results for the full year.
Other factors impacting operating results in all segments come from decreased work volumes during holidays, work site permitting delays or customers accelerating or postponing work. The differing types, sizes, and durations of our contracts, combined with their geographic diversity and stages of completion, often results in fluctuations in the Company's operating results.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
EBITDA is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA because it is used by the financial community as a method of measuring our performance and of evaluating the market value of companies considered to be in similar businesses. We believe that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net income” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA. Since EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating performance. EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. As EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared with net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the type of events and transactions that are excluded. Our non-GAAP performance measure, EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:

It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations and acquisitions, pay commitment fees to maintain our credit facility, and incur fees to issue letters of credit under the credit facility, interest expense is a necessary and ongoing part of our costs and has assisted us in generating revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.

It does not include income taxes. Because the payment of income taxes is a necessary and ongoing part of our operations, any measure that excludes income taxes has material limitations.

It does not include depreciation or amortization expense. Because we use capital and intangible assets to generate revenue, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our cost structure. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation or amortization expense has material limitations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
We define liquidity as the ongoing ability to pay our liabilities as they become due, fund business operations and meet all monetary contractual obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity as of September 30, 2019 were cash and cash equivalents on hand, capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility and cash and cash equivalents generated from operations before consideration of changes in working capital. Cash and cash equivalents on hand at September 30, 2019 totaled $139.9 million and availability under the senior secured revolving credit facility totaled $168.4 million resulting in available liquidity of $308.3 million as of September 30, 2019. The Company's liquidity continues to be adequate to support its short-term needs and long-term strategic growth plans.
The following table provides a summary of changes in our liquidity for the three months ended September 30, 2019 (in thousands):

A detailed discussion of our credit agreement is provided under the caption "Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility" included in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Form 10-Q.
Factors that routinely impact our short-term liquidity and may impact our long-term liquidity include, but are not limited to:
Changes in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs due to contract terms that determine the timing of billings to customers and the collection of those billings:

Some cost plus and fixed price customer contracts are billed based on milestones which may require us to incur significant expenditures prior to collections from our customers.

Some fixed price customer contracts allow for significant upfront billings at the beginning of a project, which temporarily increases liquidity near term.

Time and material contracts are normally billed in arrears. Therefore, we are routinely required to carry these costs until they can be billed and collected.

Some of our large construction projects may require security in the form of letters of credit or significant retentions. The timing of collection of retentions is often uncertain.

Working capital changes at September 30, 2019 in comparison to June 30, 2019 include the following:

Accounts receivable, net of bad debt expense recognized during the period, decreased $3.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, which increased cash flows from operating activities. The variance is primarily attributable to the timing of billing and collections.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts ("CIE") decreased $30.1 million, which increased cash flows from operating activities. Billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings ("BIE") increased $24.6 million, which increased cash flows from operating activities. CIE and BIE balances can experience significant fluctuations based on the timing of when job costs are incurred and the invoicing of those job costs to the customer.

Prepaid expenses and other assets decreased $3.5 million, which increased cash flows from operating activities.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $18.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, which decreased cash flows from operating activities. The variance is primarily attributable to the timing of vendor payments.

Income tax payable decreased $3.8 million, which decreased cash flows from operating activities.

Cash Flows Used by Investing Activities
Investing activities used $8.5 million of cash in the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to $8.7 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $0.2 million of proceeds from other assets sales. Capital expenditures consisted of: $4.8 million for transportation equipment, $2.0 million for software and office equipment, $1.7 million for construction and fabrication equipment, and $0.2 million for facilities.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities
Financing activities provided $2.8 million of cash in the three months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to net borrowings of $6.1 million under the Company's Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, partially offset by the repurchase of $3.4 million of Company stock for payment of withholding taxes due on equity-based compensation.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
As noted previously in Note 5 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on February 8, 2017, the Company entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company and certain foreign subsidiaries, as Borrowers, various subsidiaries of the Company, as Guarantors, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Sole Lead Arranger and Sole Bookrunner, and the other Lenders party thereto.
The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility of $300.0 million that expires February 8, 2022. The credit facility may be used for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, issuances of letters of credit and other lawful purposes.
The Credit Agreement includes the following covenants and borrowing limitations:
Our Leverage Ratio, determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter, may not exceed 3.00 to 1.00.
We are required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, determined as of the end of each fiscal quarter, greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00.
Asset dispositions (other than dispositions in which all of the net cash proceeds therefrom are reinvested into the Company and dispositions of inventory and obsolete or unneeded equipment in the ordinary course of business) are limited to $20.0 million per 12-month period.
The credit facility includes a sublimit for revolving loans and letters of credit denominated in Australian Dollars, Canadian Dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling in an aggregate amount not to exceed the U.S. Dollar equivalent of $75.0 million and a $200.0 million sublimit for total letters of credit.
Each revolving borrowing under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to:
The ABR or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in U.S. Dollars;
The Canadian Prime Rate or the CDOR rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Canadian Dollars;
The Adjusted LIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Pounds Sterling or Australian Dollars; or
The EURIBO Rate, in the case of revolving loans denominated in Euros,

in each case, plus the Applicable Margin, which is based on the Company's Leverage Ratio. The Applicable Margin on ABR loans ranges between 0.625% and 1.625%. The Applicable Margin for Adjusted LIBO, EURIBO and CDOR loans ranges between 1.625% and 2.625% and the Applicable Margin for Canadian Prime Rate loans ranges between 2.125% and 3.125%.
The unused credit facility fee is between 0.25% and 0.45% based on the Leverage Ratio.

The Credit Agreement includes a Leverage Ratio covenant, which provides that Consolidated Funded Indebtedness, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, may not exceed 3.0 times Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Credit Agreement, or "Covenant EBITDA," over the previous four quarters. For the four quarters ended September 30, 2019, Covenant EBITDA was $75.9 million. Consolidated Funded Indebtedness at September 30, 2019 was $59.4 million.
Covenant EBITDA differs from EBITDA, as reported under "Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Financial Measure," primarily because it permits the Company to:
exclude non-cash stock-based compensation expense,
include pro forma EBITDA of acquired businesses as if the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the previous four quarters, and
exclude certain other extraordinary items, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

Dividend Policy
We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and the terms of our Credit Agreement limit the amount of cash dividends we can pay. Under our Credit Agreement, we may declare and pay cash dividends on our capital stock during any fiscal year up to an amount which, when added to all other cash dividends paid during such fiscal year, does not exceed 50% of our cumulative net income for such fiscal year to date. Any future dividend payments will depend on our financial condition, capital requirements and earnings as well as other relevant factors.
Stock Repurchase Program and Treasury Shares
Treasury Shares
On November 6, 2018, the Board of Directors approved a new stock buyback program (the "November 2018 Program"), which replaced the previous program that had been in place since December 2016 and was set to expire in December 2018. Under the November 2018 Program, the Company may repurchase common stock up to a maximum of $30.0 million per calendar year provided that the aggregate number of shares repurchased may not exceed 10%, or approximately 2.7 million, of the Company's shares outstanding as of November 6, 2018. The Company may repurchase its stock from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions and is not obligated to purchase any shares. The November 2018 Program will continue unless and until it is modified or revoked by the Board of Directors. As of September 30, 2019, no shares have been repurchased under the November 2018 Program during the 2019 calendar year and there were 2,396,643 shares available for repurchase.
The Company has 756,771 treasury shares as of September 30, 2019 and intends to utilize these treasury shares in connection with equity awards under the Company’s stock incentive plans and for sales to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-Q which address activities, events or developments which we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “estimates,” “predicts” and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements include, among others, such things as:
our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations, access our credit facility, or raise cash in order to meet our short and long-term capital requirements;

the impact to our business of changes in crude oil, natural gas and other commodity prices;

amounts and nature of future revenues and margins from each of our segments;

trends in the industries we serve;

the likely impact of new or existing regulations or market forces on the demand for our services;

expansion and other trends of the industries we serve;

our expectations with respect to the likelihood of a future impairment; and

our ability to comply with the covenants in our credit agreement.

These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses we made in light of our experience and our historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including:

the risk factors discussed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

economic, market or business conditions in general and in the oil, natural gas, power, iron and steel, agricultural and mining industries in particular;

the under-utilization of our work force;

delays in the commencement of major projects, whether due to permitting issues or other factors;

reduced creditworthiness of our customer base and the higher risk of non-payment of receivables due to volatility of crude oil, natural gas, steel and other commodity prices to which our customers' businesses are affected;

the inherently uncertain outcome of current and future litigation;

the adequacy of our reserves for claims and contingencies;

changes in laws or regulations, including the imposition or threatened imposition, cancellation or delay of tariffs on imported goods; and

other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences or effects on our business operations. We assume no obligation to update publicly, except as required by law, any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in market risk faced by us from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For more information on market risk, see Part II, Item 7A in our fiscal 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e).
The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors or fraud. The design of our internal control system takes into account the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be weighed against the costs. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the acts of key individuals, collusion or management override.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at September 30, 2019.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of the ___ day of __________, 2019, by and between Matrix Service Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and ____________________ (“Indemnitee”).

WHEREAS, it is essential to the Company to retain and attract as directors and officers the most capable persons available;

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is an officer and/or director of the Company or of an entity in which the Company directly or indirectly owns an interest;

WHEREAS, both the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increased risk of litigation and other claims being asserted against directors and officers of corporations in the current environment;

WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company (the “Charter Documents”) require the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and Indemnitee has agreed to serve or has served and continues to serve in such capacity, in part, in reliance on the Charter Documents; and

WHEREAS, in recognition of Indemnitee’s need for (i) substantial protection against personal liability based on Indemnitee’s reliance on the Charter Documents, (ii) specific contractual assurance that the protection promised by the Charter Documents will be available to Indemnitee (regardless of, among other things, any amendment to or revocation of the Charter Documents or any change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors or acquisition transaction relating to the Company) and (iii) an inducement to agreeing to or to continue to provide effective services to the Company, the Company wishes to provide in this Agreement for the indemnification of and the advancing of expenses to Indemnitee to the fullest extent (whether partial or complete) permitted under Delaware law and as set forth in this Agreement, and for the coverage of Indemnitee under the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of Indemnitee’s agreeing to or continuing to serve the Company directly or, at its request, another enterprise, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.Certain Definitions:

(a)    “Change in Control” means and shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any Person is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, (ii) any Person purchases or otherwise acquires under a tender offer, securities representing thirty percent (30%) or more of the total voting power of all the then outstanding Voting Securities, (iii) during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals (a) who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company and (b) any new director whose election by the Company’s Board of Directors or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved (but excluding, for purposes of this definition, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Company’s Board of Directors), cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the members of the Company’s Board of Directors, (iv) the stockholders of the Company approve a merger or consolidation of the Company with another entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the Voting Securities outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent, either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity (or if the surviving entity is a subsidiary of another entity, then of the parent entity of such surviving entity), at least sixty percent (60%) of the total voting power represented by the voting securities of the surviving entity (or parent entity) outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (v) the stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company (in one transaction or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 





(b)    “Claim” shall mean any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding, alternative dispute resolution mechanism, hearing or any inquiry or investigation, whether formal or informal, and whether conducted by the Company, any federal, state, local or foreign governmental agency or authority (including without limitation, the Securities and Exchange Commission) or any other party, that Indemnitee in good faith believes might lead to the institution of any such action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other.

(c)    “Expenses” shall include reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, court costs, transcript costs, travel expenses, duplicating, printing and binding costs, telephone charges, and all other costs, expenses and obligations paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in, participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness in or participate in any Claim relating to any Indemnifiable Event. Expenses shall also include (i) Expenses incurred in connection with any appeal resulting from any Claim, including without limitation, the premium, security for, and other costs relating to any cost bond, supersedeas bond, or other appeal bond or its equivalent, and (ii) for purposes of Section 5 only, Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the interpretation, enforcement or defense of Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement, by litigation or otherwise. Expenses, however, shall not include amounts paid in settlement by Indemnitee or the amount of judgments or fines against Indemnitee.

(d)    “Indemnifiable Event” shall mean any event or occurrence that takes place either prior to or after the execution of this Agreement related to the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or is or was serving at the request (expressed or implied) of the Company as a director, officer, employee, manager, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of anything done or not done by Indemnitee in any such capacity (whether or not serving in such capacity at the time any loss is incurred for which indemnification can be provided under this Agreement).

(e)    “Losses” shall mean any and all Expenses, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties (whether civil, criminal or other), ERISA excise taxes, amounts paid or payable in settlement, including any interest, assessments, and all other charges paid or payable in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, be a witness or participate in, any Claim.

(f)    “Person” shall mean any person, as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act, but excluding therefrom a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company.

(g)    “Potential Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) the Company enters into an agreement the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control;  (ii) any person (including the Company) publicly announces an intention to take or to consider taking actions which if consummated would constitute a Change in Control; or  (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control has occurred.
 
(h)    “Reviewing Party” shall mean any appropriate person or body consisting of a member or members of the Company’s Board of Directors or any other person or body appointed by the Company’s Board of Directors (including the Independent Counsel referred to in Section 3 below) who is not a party to the particular Claim for which Indemnitee is seeking indemnification.

(i)    “Voting Securities” shall mean any securities of the Company which vote generally in the election of directors.

2.Basic Indemnification Arrangement.

(a)In the event Indemnitee was, is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, a Claim by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended or interpreted (but in the case of any such amendment or interpretation, only to the extent that such amendment or interpretation permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than were provided prior thereto), promptly upon the receipt of written demand, against any and all Losses. If so requested by Indemnitee, the Company shall advance any and all Expenses to Indemnitee (whether such funds are paid directly on Indemnitee’s behalf, advanced to Indemnitee in an amount sufficient pay such Expenses or reimbursed to Indemnitee after Indemnitee pays such Expenses, an “Expense Advance”). Indemnitee’s right to an Expense Advance is not subject to the satisfaction of any standard of conduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless payment in full has actually been made





to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or Other Indemnity Provision (as defined in Section 11 below), within ten (10) business days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request, (i) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (ii) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (iii) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (except as set forth in Section 5), prior to a Change in Control, Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement in connection with any claim initiated by Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of the Company unless the Company has joined in or the Board of Directors of the Company has consented to the initiation of such claim.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the obligations of the Company under Section 2(a) (other than the obligations of the Company to Indemnitee to make an Expense Advance and the obligations of the Company to Indemnitee if Indemnitee was, is, or is threatened to be made a witness in a Claim), shall be subject to the condition that the Reviewing Party shall not have determined subsequent to the final disposition of any Claim (in a written legal opinion if the Independent Counsel referred to in Section 3 below is involved) that indemnification of Indemnitee would not be permitted under applicable law, provided, that to be effective any such denial of indemnity must be in writing, delivered to the Indemnitee, stating with particularity the reason for such denial; and (ii) if, when and to the extent that the Reviewing Party determines subsequent to the final disposition of any Claim that indemnification of Indemnitee would not be permitted under applicable law, the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such Expense Advances theretofore paid; provided, however, that if Indemnitee has commenced legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that Indemnitee should be indemnified under applicable law, any determination made by the Reviewing Party that indemnification of Indemnitee would not be permitted under applicable law shall not be binding and Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advance shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

(c)If there has not been a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board of Directors of the Company, and if there has been such a Change in Control, the Reviewing Party shall be the Independent Counsel referred to in Section 3 below.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Reviewing Party to make its determination as promptly as possible. If the Reviewing Party shall not have made a determination within 60 days after the final disposition of any Claim, then Indemnitee shall be deemed to have satisfied the applicable standard of conduct; provided that such 60-day period may be extended for a reasonable time, not to exceed an additional 30 days, if the Reviewing Party in good faith requires such additional time to obtain or evaluate information relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement of Indemnitee to indemnification under this Agreement shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of any Claim. If the Reviewing Party determines that indemnification of Indemnitee would not be permitted in whole or in part under applicable law, Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation, in any court in the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction thereof and in which venue is proper, seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by the Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof.  The Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding.  Any determination by the Reviewing Party not challenged by the Indemnitee shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and Indemnitee.

(d)No indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid by the Company on account of any Claim in which a final judgment is rendered against Indemnitee or Indemnitee enters into a settlement, in each case, (i) for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or similar provisions of any federal, state or local laws; (ii) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or Other Indemnity Provision (as defined in Section 11 below), except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or Other Indemnity Provision; or (iii) for which payment is prohibited by law.

3.    Change in Control.  The Company agrees that if there is a Change in Control, then, with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the rights of Indemnitee to indemnity payments and Expense Advances under this Agreement or any other agreement or the Charter Documents now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Indemnifiable Events, the Company shall seek legal advice only from special, independent counsel selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), which counsel has not otherwise performed services for the Company or Indemnitee within the last five (5) years (other than in connection with such matters) (the “Independent Counsel”). The Independent Counsel shall not include any person who, under the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing, would have a conflict of interest in representing either the Company or Indemnitee in an action to determine Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement.  Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company and Indemnitee as to





whether and to what extent the Indemnitee would be permitted to be indemnified under applicable law.  The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or such counsel’s engagement pursuant hereto.
 
4.    Establishment of Trust.  In the event of a Potential Change in Control, the Company shall promptly, upon written request by Indemnitee, create a trust for the benefit of Indemnitee (the “Trust”) and, from time to time upon written request by Indemnitee, shall fund the Trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy (a) any and all Expenses reasonably anticipated at the time of each such request to be incurred in connection with investigating, preparing for and defending any Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event, and (b) any and all judgments, fines, penalties and settlement amounts of any and all Claims relating to an Indemnifiable Event from time to time actually paid or claimed, reasonably anticipated or proposed to be paid.  The terms of the Trust shall provide that, upon a Change in Control, (i) the Trust shall not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded, without the written consent of Indemnitee;  (ii) the trustee of the Trust (the “Trustee”), shall advance to Indemnitee, within ten (10) business days of a request by Indemnitee, any and all Expenses and Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the Trust under the same circumstances for which Indemnitee would be required to reimburse the Company under Section 2(b) above); (iii) the Trust shall continue to be funded by the Company in accordance with the funding obligation set forth above; (iv) the Trustee shall promptly pay to Indemnitee all amounts for which Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise; and (v) all unexpended funds in the Trust shall revert to the Company upon a final determination by the Reviewing Party or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, that Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the terms of this Agreement.  The Trustee shall be chosen by Indemnitee, with the approval of the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Nothing in this Section 4 shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any provision of the Charter Documents or other agreement now or hereafter in effect.  The Company shall pay all costs of establishing and maintaining the Trust and shall agree to indemnify the Trustee against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities, losses and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the establishment and maintenance of the Trust.

5.    Indemnification for Additional Expenses.  The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against any and all Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall advance such Expenses to Indemnitee, which are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Claim asserted against or action brought by Indemnitee for (a) indemnification or advance payment of Expenses by the Company under this Agreement or any Other Indemnity Provision; and/or (b) recovery under any directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company.  Unless payment in full has actually been made to or on behalf of Indemnitee under any insurance policy or Other Indemnity Provision (as defined in Section 11 below), within ten (10) business days after any request by Indemnitee, the Company shall, in accordance with such request, (i) pay such Expenses on behalf of Indemnitee, (ii) advance to Indemnitee funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses, or (iii) reimburse Indemnitee for such Expenses. The Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by Indemnitee (who hereby agrees to reimburse the Company) for all such amounts theretofore paid Indemnitee under this Section 5 if, subsequent to the final disposition of any Claim asserted against or action brought by Indemnitee, Indemnitee ultimately is determined not to be entitled to such indemnification, advance expense payment or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

6.    Partial Indemnification; Mandatory Indemnification.  If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for a portion, but not all, of the Losses paid in settlement of a Claim, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion thereof to which Indemnitee is entitled.  Moreover, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any or all Claims relating in whole or in part to an Indemnifiable Event or in defense of any issue or matter therein, including without limitation dismissal without prejudice, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against all Expenses incurred in connection therewith.
 
7.    Notification and Defense of Proceeding.
 
(a)    Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any Claim by reason of (or arising in part out of) an Indemnifiable Event, Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Agreement, notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability that it may have to Indemnitee, except as provided in Section 7(c).
 
(b)    With respect to any such Claim as to which Indemnitee notifies the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company will be entitled to participate in the Claim at its own expense and, except as otherwise provided below, to the extent the Company so wishes, it may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee.  After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any Claim, the Company shall not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any Expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such Claim other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise provided below.  Indemnitee shall have the right to employ legal counsel in such Claim, but all Expenses related thereto incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the





defense shall be at Indemnitee’s expense unless: (i) the employment of legal counsel by Indemnitee has been authorized by the Company, (ii) Indemnitee has reasonably determined that there may be a conflict of interest between Indemnitee and the Company in the defense of the Claim, (iii) after a Change in Control, the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been approved by the Independent Counsel or (iv) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense of such Claim, in each of which cases all Expenses of the Claim shall be borne by the Company.  The Company shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Claim brought by or on behalf of the Company, or as to which Indemnitee shall have made the determination provided for in (ii) above or under the circumstances provided for in (iii) and (iv) above.
 
(c)    The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise for any amounts paid in settlement of any Claim effected without the Company’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that if a Change in Control has occurred, the Company shall be liable for indemnification of Indemnitee for amounts paid in settlement if the Independent Counsel has approved the settlement.  The Company shall not settle any Claim in any manner that would impose any penalty or limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee’s written consent.  The Company shall not be liable to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement with regard to any judicial award if the Company was not given a reasonable and timely opportunity as a result of Indemnitee’s failure to provide notice, at its expense, to participate in the defense of such action, and the lack of such notice materially prejudiced the Company’s ability to participate in defense of such action.  The Company’s liability hereunder shall not be excused if participation in the Claim by the Company was barred by this Agreement.
 
8.    Burden of Proof.  In connection with any determination by the Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that Indemnitee is not so entitled.

9.    Reliance as a Safe Harbor. For purposes of this Agreement, and without creating any presumption as to a lack of good faith if the following circumstances do not exist, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company if Indemnitee's actions or omissions to act are taken in good faith reliance upon the records of the Company, including its financial statements, or upon information, opinions, reports or statements furnished to Indemnitee by the officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the course of their duties, or by committees of the Board of Directors or by any other Person (including legal counsel, accountants and financial advisors) as to matters Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company. In addition, the knowledge and/or actions, or failures to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnity hereunder.

10.    No Presumption.  For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification is not permitted by applicable law.

11.    Non-exclusivity, etc. The rights of Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to any other rights Indemnitee may have under the Charter Documents, applicable law, any other contract or otherwise (collectively, “Other Indemnity Provisions”); provided, however, that (a) to the extent that Indemnitee otherwise would have any greater right to indemnification under any Other Indemnity Provision, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder, and (b) to the extent that any change is made to any Other Indemnity Provision which permits any greater right to indemnification that that provided by this Agreement as of the date hereof, Indemnitee will be deemed to have such greater right hereunder.   To the extent that a change in applicable law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under Other Indemnity Provisions or this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change.

12.    Liability Insurance.  To the extent the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies, in accordance with its or their terms, to the maximum extent of the coverage available for any Company director or officer.

13.    Duration; Amendment; Waiver.  All agreements and obligations of the Company hereunder shall continue during the period that Indemnitee is a director or officer of the Company (or is serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, manager, trustee, agent or fiduciary of another enterprise) and shall continue thereafter (i) so long as Indemnitee may be subject to any possible Claim relating to an Indemnifiable Event (including any rights to appeal therefrom) and (ii) throughout the pendency of any proceeding (including any rights of appeal therefrom), including any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret his or her rights under this Agreement, even if, in either case, he or she may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of any such Claim or proceeding. No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be





binding unless executed in writing by both of the parties hereto.  No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

14.    Subrogation.  In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and shall do everything that may be necessary to secure such rights, including without limitation the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights.

15.    No Duplication of Payments.  The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against Indemnitee for an Indemnifiable Event to the extent Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, Other Indemnity Provisions or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder.

16.    Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors (including without limitation any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company), assigns, spouse, heirs, and personal and legal representatives.  The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.
 
17.    Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

18.    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of laws.  The Company and Indemnitee each hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware for all purposes in connection with any action or proceeding which arises out of or relates to this Agreement, agree that any action instituted under this Agreement shall only be brought in the state courts of the State of Delaware, and waive, and agree not to plead or make, any claim that the courts of the State of Delaware lack venue or that any such action or proceeding brought in the courts of the State of Delaware has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum.

19.    Notices.  All notices, demands and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand, against receipt, or mailed, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and addressed to the Company at:

Exhibit 95

Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act") requires domestic mine operators to disclose violations and orders issued under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the "Mine Act") by the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA"). We do not act as the owner of any mines, but as a result of our performing services or construction at mine sites as an independent contractor, we are considered an "operator" within the meaning of the Mine Act. The mine data retrieval system maintained by MSHA may show information that is different than what is provided herein. Any such difference may be attributed to the need to update that information on MSHA’s system and/or other factors.
