Loan Agreement, dated April 6, 2009

 Exhibit 10.1 
 

 
 Loan Agreement 
  
  
 This Loan Agreement (“Agreement”) dated as of April 6, 2009 is between Bank of America, N. A. (the “Bank”) and KVH Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Borrower”). 
 1. THE LOAN 
 1.1 Loan Amount and Purpose. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Bank agrees to advance up to FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ($4,000,000) (the “Loan”) which Loan shall be secured by a mortgage on the
real property located at 50 Enterprise Center, Middletown, Rhode Island (the “Property”). 
 1.2 The Term. The term of the Loan shall be
from the date hereof until April 6, 2019 (the “Term”), with all unpaid principal and accrued interest payable in full on April 6, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”) as set forth in Section 1.4 below. 
 1.3 Interest Rate and Payments During the Term. The following terms will apply to the Loan during the Term: 
  

	(a)	During the Term, the interest rate will be a rate per year equal to the BBA LIBOR Rate (Adjusted Periodically) plus 2.25 percentage point(s). 

  

	(b)	The interest rate will be adjusted on the first day following the end of each Interest Period, as defined below (the “Adjustment Date”), and remain fixed until the next
Adjustment Date. If the Adjustment Date in any particular month would otherwise fall on a day that is not a banking day then, at the Bank’s option, the Adjustment Date for that particular month will be the first banking day immediately
following thereafter. Whenever the Borrower desires to change the duration of the Interest Period upon an Adjustment Date, a representative of the Borrower, certified in writing as authorized to request Loans hereunder, shall notify the Bank (which
notice, when made shall be irrevocable) by telecopy or telephone received no later than 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard time) two Business Days before the relevant Adjustment Date. Such notice shall specify the duration of the Interest Period
(subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period and other applicable provisions of this agreement) to be applicable as an after such Adjustment Date-. Each such notification shall be immediately followed by a written confirmation
thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank, provided that if such written confirmation differs in any material respect from the action taken by the Bank, the records of the Bank shall control absent manifest error.

  

	(c)	The BBA LIBOR Rate (Adjusted Periodically) is a rate of interest equal to the rate per annum equal to the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (“BBA LIBOR”), as
published by Reuters (or other commercially available source providing quotations of BBA LIBOR as selected by the Bank from time to time) as determined for each Adjustment Date at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time two (2) London Banking Days
prior to the Adjustment Date, for U.S. Dollar deposits (for delivery on the first day of such interest period) with a term of one month, two months, three months or six months, as elected from time to time by the Borrower pursuant to
Section 1.3(b), as adjusted from time to time in the Bank’s sole discretion for reserve requirements, deposit insurance assessment rates and other regulatory costs. If such rate is not available at such time for any reason, then the rate
for that interest period will be determined by such alternate method as reasonably selected by the Bank. A “London Banking Day” is a day on which banks in London are open for business and dealing in offshore dollars.

  

	(d)	It is anticipated that the Borrower will enter into an interest rate protection agreement in connection with the Loan. 

 1.4 Payments. 
  

	(a)	During the Term, the Borrower will pay interest on the first banking day of May, 2009 and then on the same day of each month thereafter until payment in full of the principal
balance of the Loan. 

  

	(b)	The Borrower will repay principal in equal installments beginning on the first banking day of May, 2009 and on the same day of each month thereafter, until the Maturity Date.
Each principal installment shall be in an amount set forth on the amortization schedule attached as Exhibit A hereto. On the Maturity Date, the Borrower will repay the remaining principal balance plus any interest then due.

 1.5 Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay the Loan in full or in part at any time during the Term. The prepayment will be applied to
the most remote payment of principal due under this Agreement. Each prepayment, whether voluntary, by reason of acceleration or otherwise, will be accompanied by the amount of accrued interest on the amount prepaid, and a prepayment fee. For
purposes of this paragraph, “prepayment” means a payment of an amount on a date other than an Adjustment Date. The prepayment fee will be in an amount sufficient to compensate the Bank for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a
result of the prepayment, including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain the amount prepaid or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which
such funds were obtained. The Borrower will also pay any customary administrative fees charged by the Bank in connection with the foregoing. For purposes of this paragraph, the Bank will be deemed to have funded each prepaid amount by a matching
deposit or other borrowing in the applicable interbank market, whether or not the amount was in fact so funded. 
 2. FEES AND EXPENSES 
 2.1 Fees. 
  

	(a)	Waiver Fee. If the Bank, at its discretion, agrees to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, the Borrower will, at the Bank’s option, pay the Bank a reasonable fee
for each waiver or amendment in an amount advised by the Bank at the time the Borrower requests the waiver or amendment. Nothing in this paragraph shall imply that the Bank is obligated to agree to any waiver or amendment requested by the Borrower.
The Bank may impose additional requirements as a condition to any waiver or amendment. 

  

	(b)	Late Fee. To the extent permitted by law, the Borrower agrees to pay a late fee in an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) of any payment that is more than fifteen
(15) days late. The imposition and payment of a late fee shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s rights with respect to the default. 

  

	(c)	Closing Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank for its account a closing fee of $10,000, which fee shall be fully earned when paid and shall be non-refundable for any reason
whatsoever 

 2.2 Expenses. 
  

	(a)	The Borrower agrees to reimburse the Bank for any expenses it incurs in the preparation of this Agreement and any agreement or instrument required by this Agreement. Expenses
include, but are not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including any allocated costs of the Bank’s in-house counsel to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to
reimburse the Bank for attorneys fees incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement in excess of six thousand dollars. 

  

	(b)	The Borrower also agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with the making, disbursement and administration of the Loan. Such costs and expenses
include, but are not limited to, charges for title insurance, recording and escrow charges, fees for appraisal, and any other reasonable fees and costs for services, regardless of whether such services are furnished by the Bank’s employees or
by independent contractors. 

  

 -2- 

	(c)	The Borrower acknowledges that the Loan fee does not include amounts payable by the Borrower under this paragraph. All such sums incurred by the Bank and not immediately reimbursed
by the Borrower will be considered an additional loan to the Borrower bearing interest at the default rate provided in this Agreement and secured by the Real Estate Security Instrument described below. 

 3. COLLATERAL 
 3.1 Real Property. All obligations of the
Borrower under this Agreement will be secured by a mortgage (the “Real Estate Security Instrument”) executed by Borrower covering the property located at 50 Enterprise Center, Middletown, RI 02842 (the “Property”),
which Real Estate Security Instrument shall also include an assignment of all rents owing to the Borrower under any leases of all, or any portion of, the Property. 
 3.2 Personal Property. Certain personal property used in connection with the Property now owned or owned in the future by the Borrower will secure the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under this Agreement to the extent set
forth in the Real Estate Security Instrument.  
 4. DISBURSEMENT PROCEDURES 
 Disbursements will be made to the Borrower’s checking account, as designated in writing by the Borrower, or by such other means requested by the Borrower and acceptable to the Bank. The Bank may use Loan funds to
pay any fees owing to the Bank, interest on the Loan, legal fees and expenses of Bank’s attorneys which are payable by the Borrower, and such other sums as may be owing by the Borrower to the Bank with respect to the Loan. 
 5. PAYMENTS 
 5.1 Disbursements and Payments. 
  

	(a)	Unless otherwise authorized by the Bank, each payment by the Borrower will be made in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds by debit to deposit account #009427767316
maintained by the Borrower with the Bank (the “Borrower Funds Account”). For payments not made by direct debit, payments will be made by mail to the address shown on the Borrower’s statement or at one of the Bank’s banking
centers in the United States, or by such other method as may be permitted by the Bank. 

  

	(b)	The Bank may honor instructions for advances or repayments given by any one of the individuals authorized to sign loan agreements on behalf of the Borrower, or any other individual
designated by any one of such authorized signers. 

  

	(c)	For any payment under this Agreement made by debit to a deposit account, the Borrower will maintain sufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account to cover each
debit. If there are insufficient immediately available funds in the deposit account on the date the Bank enters any such debit authorized by this Agreement, the Bank may reverse the debit. 

  

	(d)	Each disbursement by the Bank and each payment by the Borrower will be evidenced by records kept by the Bank. In addition, the Bank may, at its discretion, require the Borrower to
sign one or more promissory notes. 

 5.2 Banking Day. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, a banking day is a day other than a
Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks are authorized to close, or are in fact closed, in Providence, Rhode Island and, if such day relates to amounts bearing interest at an offshore rate (if any), means any such day on which
dealings in dollar deposits are conducted among banks in the offshore dollar interbank market. All payments and disbursements which would be due on a day which is not a banking day will be due on the next banking day. All payments received on a day
which is not a banking day will be applied to the credit on the next banking day.

 5.3 Interest Calculation. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all interest and fees, if any, will be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Installments of principal which are not paid when due under this Agreement shall continue to bear interest until paid. 
 5.4 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of any default or after maturity or after judgment has been rendered on any obligation under this Agreement, all amounts
outstanding under this Agreement, including any interest, fees, or costs which are not paid when due, will at the option of the Bank bear interest at a rate which is 5.0 percentage point(s) higher than the rate of interest otherwise provided under
this Agreement. This may result in compounding of interest. This will not constitute a waiver of any default. 
 6. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING 

The Bank will have no obligation to make the Loan until all applicable conditions listed in this Section are satisfied. These conditions are for the Bank’s sole
benefit. The Bank, in its sole discretion, may, therefore, from time to time, waive one or more of these conditions without affecting its right to fully enforce such condition or conditions with respect to any subsequent request for a disbursement.

most recent appraisal that has been prepared by an appraiser acceptable to Bank and delivered to Bank. 
 9. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES 
 9.1 Indemnity Regarding Hazardous Substances. The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from and against all liabilities, claims, actions,
foreseeable and unforeseeable consequential damages, costs and expenses (including sums paid in settlement of claims and all consultant, expert and legal fees and expenses of the Bank’s counsel) or loss directly or indirectly arising out of or
resulting from any of the following: 
  

	(a)	Any hazardous substance being present at any time, whether before, during or after any construction, in or around any part of the Property, or in the soil, groundwater or soil vapor
on or under the Property, including those incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work, or any resulting damages or injuries to the person or property of any third parties or
to any natural resources. 

  

	(b)	Any use, generation, manufacture, production, storage, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal or presence of a hazardous substance. This indemnity will apply whether the
hazardous substance is on, under or about any of the Borrower’s property or operations or property leased to the Borrower, whether or not the property has been taken by the Bank as collateral. 

 Upon demand by the Bank, the Borrower will defend any investigation, action or proceeding alleging the presence of any hazardous substance in any such location, which
affects the Property or which is brought or commenced against the Bank, whether alone or together with the Borrower or any other person, all at the Borrower’s own cost and by counsel to be approved by the Bank in the exercise of its reasonable
judgment. In the alternative, the Bank may elect to conduct its own defense at the expense of the Borrower. The Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under this Article, except the obligation to give notices to the Bank, shall survive termination
of this Agreement, repayment of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under this Agreement, and foreclosure of the Real Estate Security Instrument encumbering the Property or similar proceedings. 
 9.2 Representation and Warranty Regarding Hazardous Substances. Before signing this Agreement, the Borrower researched and inquired, by customary means, into the
previous uses and ownership of the Property. Based on that due diligence, the Borrower represents and warrants that to the best of its knowledge, no hazardous substance has been disposed of or released or otherwise exists in, on, under or onto the
Property, except as the Borrower has disclosed to the Bank in writing. 
 9.3 Compliance Regarding Hazardous Substances. The Borrower has complied,
and will comply and cause all occupants of the Property to comply, with all current and future laws, regulations and ordinances or other requirements of any governmental authority relating to or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning
protection of health or the environment or hazardous substances (“Environmental Laws”). The Borrower shall promptly, at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, take all reasonable actions with respect to any hazardous substances or
other environmental condition at, on, or under the Property necessary to (i) comply with all applicable Environmental Laws; (ii) allow continued use, occupation or operation of the Property; or (iii) maintain the fair market value of
the Property. The Borrower acknowledges that hazardous substances may permanently and materially impair the value and use of the Property. 
  

 -10- 

 9.4 Notices Regarding Hazardous Substances. Until full repayment of the Loan, the Borrower will promptly notify
the Bank in writing if it knows, suspects or believes there may be any hazardous substance in or around the Property, or in the soil, groundwater or soil vapor on or under the Property, or that the Borrower or the Property may be subject to any
threatened or pending investigation by any governmental agency under any current or future law, regulation or ordinance pertaining to any hazardous substance. 
 9.5 Site Visits, Observations and Testing. The Bank and its agents and representatives will have the right at any reasonable time, after giving reasonable notice to the Borrower, to enter and visit the Property and any other
locations where any personal property collateral securing this Agreement is located, for the purposes of observing the Property and the personal property collateral, taking and removing environmental samples, and conducting tests on any part of the
Property. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank on demand for the costs of any such environmental investigation and testing reflecting the existence of any non-complying condition or violation of any Environmental Law. The Bank will make reasonable
efforts during any site visit, observation or testing conducted pursuant this paragraph to avoid interfering with the Borrower’s use of the Property and the personal property collateral. The Bank is under no duty, however, to visit or observe
the Property or the personal property collateral or to conduct tests, and any such acts by the Bank will be solely for the purposes of protecting the Bank’s security and preserving the Bank’s rights under this Agreement. No site visit,
observation or testing or any report or findings made as a result thereof (“Environmental Report”) (i) will result in a waiver of any default of the Borrower; (ii) impose any liability on the Bank; or (iii) be a
representation or warranty of any kind regarding the Property or the personal property collateral (including its condition or value or compliance with any laws) or the Environmental Report (including its accuracy or completeness). In the event the
Bank has a duty or obligation under applicable laws, regulations or other requirements to disclose an Environmental Report to the Borrower or any other party, the Borrower authorizes the Bank to make such a disclosure. The Bank may also disclose an
Environmental Report to any regulatory authority, and to any other parties as necessary or appropriate in the Bank’s judgment. The Borrower further understands and agrees that any Environmental Report or other information regarding a site
visit, observation or testing that is disclosed to the Borrower by the Bank or its agents and representatives is to be evaluated (including any reporting or other disclosure obligations of the Borrower) by the Borrower without advice or assistance
from the Bank. 
 9.6 Definition of Hazardous Substance. “Hazardous substance” means any substance, material or waste that is or becomes
designated or regulated as “toxic,” “hazardous,” “pollutant,” or “contaminant” or a similar designation or regulation under any current or future federal, state or local law (whether under common law, statute,
regulation or otherwise) or judicial or administrative interpretation of such, including without limitation petroleum or natural gas. 
 10. DEFAULT AND
REMEDIES 
 10.1 Events of Default. The Borrower will be in default under this Agreement upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following
events of default: 
  

	(a)	Failure to Pay. The Borrower fails to make a payment under this Agreement when due. 

  

	(b)	Other Bank Agreements. Any default occurs under any other agreement the Borrower (or any Obligor) has with the Bank or any affiliate of the Bank. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Obligor” shall mean any guarantor, any party pledging collateral to the Bank, or, if the Borrower is comprised of the trustees of a trust, any trustor. 

  

	(c)	Cross-default. Any default occurs under any agreement in connection with any credit the Borrower (or any Obligor) has obtained from anyone else or which the Borrower (or any
Obligor) or any of the Borrower’s related entities or affiliates has guaranteed. 

  

	(d)	False Information. The Borrower or any Obligor has given the Bank any information or representations which are false or misleading in any material respect when made or deemed
made. 

  

	(e)	 Bankruptcy. The Borrower, any Obligor, or any general partner of the Borrower or of any Obligor files a bankruptcy petition, a bankruptcy petition is filed
against any of the foregoing parties, or the Borrower, any 

  

 -11- 

	 	 
Obligor, or any general partner of the Borrower or of any Obligor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, and which in the case of
involuntary proceedings, shall continue undismissed for sixty (60) days. 

  

	(f)	Receivers. A receiver or similar official is appointed for any portion of the Borrower’s or any Obligor’s business, and which in the case of involuntary
proceedings, shall continue undismissed for sixty (60) days, or the business is terminated, or, if any Obligor is anything other than a natural person, such Obligor is liquidated or dissolved. 

  

	(g)	Revocation or Termination. If the Borrower is comprised of the trustee(s) of a trust, the trust is revoked or otherwise terminated or all or a substantial part of the
Borrower’s assets are distributed or otherwise disposed of. 

  

	(h)	Lien Priority. The Bank fails to have a valid and enforceable perfected security interest in or lien on the Property or any other collateral securing the Borrower’s
obligations under this Agreement, or such security interest or lien fails to be prior to the rights and interest of others (except for any prior liens to which the Bank has consented in writing). 

  

	(i)	Judgments. Any final judgments or arbitration awards are entered against the Borrower or any Obligor, or the Borrower or any Obligor enters into any settlement agreements
with respect to any litigation or arbitration, in an aggregate amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) or more in excess of an insurance coverage, and the same shall not be discharged (or provision shall not be made for such discharge),
bonded or a stay of execution shall not be procured within sixty (60) days from the date of entry thereof. 

  

	(j)	Death. If the Borrower or any Obligor is a natural person, the Borrower or such Obligor dies or becomes legally incompetent; if the Borrower or any Obligor is a trust, a
trustor dies or becomes legally incompetent; if the Borrower or any Obligor is a partnership, any general partner dies or becomes legally incompetent. 

  

	(k)	Material Adverse Change. A material adverse change occurs, or is reasonably likely to occur, in the Borrower’s (or any Obligor’s) business condition (financial or
otherwise), operations, properties or prospects, or ability to repay the Loan. 

  

	(l)	Government Action. Any government authority takes action that the Bank believes materially adversely affects the Borrower’s intended use of the Property or the
Borrower’s or any Obligor’s financial condition or ability to repay the Loan. 

  

	(m)	Default under Related Documents. Any default occurs under any guaranty, subordination agreement, security agreement, deed of trust, mortgage, or other document required by or
delivered in connection with this Agreement or any such document is no longer in effect, or any guarantor purports to revoke or disavow the guaranty. 

  

	(n)	Other Breach Under Agreement. A default occurs under any other term or condition of this Agreement not specifically referred to in this Article and the continuance of such
default for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof by the Bank. 

 10.2 Remedies. 
  

	(a)	 If any of the events of default set forth above occurs, the Bank may do one or more of the following without prior notice: declare the Borrower in default, stop
making any additional credit available to the Borrower, and require the Borrower to repay its entire debt immediately. If an event which, with notice or the passage of time, will constitute an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the
Bank has no obligation to make disbursements of Loan funds under this Agreement. In addition, if any event of default occurs, the Bank shall have all rights, powers and remedies available under any instruments and agreements required by or executed
in connection with this Agreement, as well as all rights and remedies available at 

  

 -12- 

	 	 
law or in equity. If an event of default occurs under the paragraph entitled “Bankruptcy,” above, with respect to the Borrower, then the entire
debt outstanding under this Agreement will automatically be due immediately. 

  

	(b)	Also upon any event of default, the Bank will have the right, in its sole discretion, to enter the Property and take possession of it, whether in person, by agent or by
court-appointed receiver (which may be done on an ex-parte basis), collect rents, and take any and all actions which it may, in its sole discretion, consider necessary to preserve its collateral, including entering into, modifying or terminating any
contractual arrangements, all subject to the Bank’s right at any time to discontinue any work without liability. If the Bank exercises any of the rights or remedies provided in this clause (b), that exercise will not make the Bank a partner or
joint venturer of the Borrower. 

 11. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT; MISCELLANEOUS 
 11.1 GAAP. Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, all financial information provided to the Bank and all financial covenants will be made under generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied or another basis acceptable to the Bank. 
 11.2 Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by the
law of the State of Rhode Island, without regard to the conflict of laws principle. 
 11.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding on the
Borrower’s and the Bank’s successors and assignees. The Borrower agrees that it may not assign this Agreement without the Bank’s prior consent. 
 11.4 Dispute Resolution Provision. This paragraph, including the subparagraphs below, is referred to as the “Dispute Resolution Provision.” This Dispute Resolution Provision is a material inducement for the parties entering
into this agreement. 
  

	(a)	This Dispute Resolution Provision concerns the resolution of any controversies or claims between the parties, whether arising in contract, tort or by statute, including but not
limited to controversies or claims that arise out of or relate to: (i) this agreement (including any renewals, extensions or modifications); or (ii) any document related to this agreement (collectively a “Claim”). For the
purposes of this Dispute Resolution Provision only, the term “parties” shall include any parent corporation, subsidiary or affiliate of the Bank involved in the servicing, management or administration of any obligation described or
evidenced by this agreement. 

  

	(b)	At the request of any party to this agreement, any Claim shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9, U.S. Code) (the
“Act”). The Act will apply even though this agreement provides that it is governed by the law of a specified state. 

  

	(c)	Arbitration proceedings will be determined in accordance with the Act, the then-current rules and procedures for the arbitration of financial services disputes of the American
Arbitration Association or any successor thereof (“AAA”), and the terms of this Dispute Resolution Provision. In the event of any inconsistency, the terms of this Dispute Resolution Provision shall control. If AAA is unwilling or unable to
(i) serve as the provider of arbitration or (ii) enforce any provision of this arbitration clause, the Bank may designate another arbitration organization with similar procedures to serve as the provider of arbitration.

  

	(d)	 The arbitration shall be administered by AAA and conducted, unless otherwise required by law, in any U.S. state where real or tangible personal property collateral
for this credit is located or if there is no such collateral, in the state specified in the governing law section of this agreement. All Claims shall be determined by one arbitrator; however, if Claims exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), upon
the request of any party, the Claims shall be decided by three arbitrators. All arbitration hearings shall commence within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and close within ninety (90) days of commencement and the award of
the arbitrator(s) shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. However, the arbitrator(s), upon a showing of good cause, may extend the commencement of the 

  

 -13- 

	 	 
hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The arbitrator(s) shall provide a concise written statement of reasons for the award. The arbitration
award may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and have judgment entered and enforced. 

  

	(e)	The arbitrator(s) will give effect to statutes of limitation in determining any Claim and may dismiss the arbitration on the basis that the Claim is barred. For purposes of the
application of any statutes of limitation, the service on AAA under applicable AAA rules of a notice of Claim is the equivalent of the filing of a lawsuit. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision or whether a Claim is arbitrable shall be
determined by the arbitrator(s), except as set forth at subparagraph (h) of this Dispute Resolution Provision. The arbitrator(s) shall have the power to award legal fees pursuant to the terms of this agreement. 

  

	(f)	This paragraph does not limit the right of any party to: (i) exercise self-help remedies, such as but not limited to, setoff; (ii) initiate judicial or non-judicial
foreclosure against any real or personal property collateral; (iii) exercise any judicial or power of sale rights, or (iv) act in a court of law to obtain an interim remedy, such as but not limited to, injunctive relief, writ of possession
or appointment of a receiver, or additional or supplementary remedies. 

  

	(g)	The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of any party, including the suing party, thereafter to require submittal of the Claim to
arbitration. 

  

	(h)	Any arbitration or trial by a judge of any Claim will take place on an individual basis without resort to any form of class or representative action (the “Class Action
Waiver”). Regardless of anything else in this Dispute Resolution Provision, the validity and effect of the Class Action Waiver may be determined only by a court and not by an arbitrator. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the Class
Action Waiver is material and essential to the arbitration of any disputes between the parties and is nonseverable from the agreement to arbitrate Claims. If the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable, then the parties’
agreement to arbitrate shall be null and void with respect to such proceeding, subject to the right to appeal the limitation or invalidation of the Class Action Waiver. The Parties acknowledge and agree that under no circumstances will a class
action be arbitrated. 

  

	(i)	By agreeing to binding arbitration, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Claim. Furthermore, without intending
in any way to limit this agreement to arbitrate, to the extent any Claim is not arbitrated, the parties irrevocably and voluntarily waive any right they may have to a trial by jury in respect of such Claim. This waiver of jury trial shall remain in
effect even if the Class Action Waiver is limited, voided or found unenforceable. WHETHER THE CLAIM IS DECIDED BY ARBITRATION OR BY TRIAL BY A JUDGE, THE PARTIES AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE EFFECT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS THAT THEY ARE GIVING UP THE
RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. 

 11.5 Severability; Waivers. If any part of this Agreement is not enforceable,
the rest of the Agreement may be enforced. The Bank retains all rights, even if it makes a loan after default. If the Bank waives a default, it may enforce a later default. Any consent or waiver under this Agreement must be in writing. 

11.6 Attorneys’ Fees. The Borrower shall reimburse the Bank for any reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the Bank in connection with the
enforcement or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Agreement and any other documents executed in connection with this Agreement, and in connection with any amendment, waiver, “workout” or restructuring under this Agreement.
In the event of a lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, the prevailing party is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit or arbitration proceeding, as determined by the court or arbitrator.
In the event that any case is commenced by or against the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code) or any similar or successor statute, the Bank is entitled to recover costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by
the Bank related to the preservation, protection, or enforcement of any rights of the Bank in such a case. To the extent permitted by law, as used in this paragraph, “attorneys’ fees” includes the allocated costs of the Bank’s
in-house counsel. 
  

 -14- 

 11.7 Individual Liability. If the Borrower is a natural person, the Bank may proceed against the Borrower’s
business and non-business property in enforcing this and other agreements relating to this loan. If the Borrower is a partnership, the Bank may proceed against the business and non-business property of each general partner of the Borrower in
enforcing this and other agreements relating to this loan. 
 11.8 Joint and Several Liability. If two or more Borrowers sign this Agreement, each
Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Bank for the payment of all obligations arising under this Agreement, and that such liability is independent of the obligations of the other Borrowers. 
 11.9 One Agreement. This Agreement and any related security or other agreements required by this Agreement, collectively: 
  

	(a)	represent the sum of the understandings and agreements between the Bank and the Borrower concerning this credit; 

  

	(b)	replace any prior oral or written agreements between the Bank and the Borrower concerning this credit; and 

  

	(c)	are intended by the Bank and the Borrower as the final, complete and exclusive statement of the terms agreed to by them. 

 In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and any other agreements required by this Agreement, this Agreement will prevail. 
 11.10 Indemnification. The Borrower will indemnify and hold the Bank harmless from any loss, liability, damages, judgments, and costs of any kind relating to or
arising directly or indirectly out of (a) this Agreement or any document required hereunder, (b) any credit extended or committed by the Bank to the Borrower hereunder, and (c) any litigation or proceeding related to or arising out of
this Agreement, any such document, or any such credit. This indemnity includes but is not limited to attorneys’ fees (including the allocated cost of in-house counsel). This indemnity extends to the Bank, its parent, subsidiaries and all of
their directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, attorneys, and assigns. This indemnity will survive repayment of the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank. All sums due to the Bank hereunder shall be obligations of the Borrower, due and
payable immediately without demand. 
 11.11 Notices. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in another agreement between the Bank and the
Borrower, all notices required under this Agreement shall be personally delivered or sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight courier, to the addresses on the signature page of this Agreement, or to such other addresses as the Bank
and the Borrower may specify from time to time in writing. Notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, upon the earlier of receipt or five (5) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class, postage prepaid, or
(ii) if hand-delivered, by courier or otherwise (including telegram, lettergram or mailgram), when delivered. 
 11.12 Headings. Article and
paragraph headings are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or meaning of any provisions of this Agreement. 
 11.13
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, and by the different parties on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original but all such counterparts shall
constitute but one and the same agreement. 
 11.14 Borrower Information; Reporting to Credit Bureaus. The Borrower authorizes the Bank at any time to
verify or check any information given by the Borrower to the Bank, check the Borrower’s credit references, verify employment, and obtain credit reports. The Borrower agrees that the Bank shall have the right at all times to disclose and report
to credit reporting agencies and credit rating agencies such information pertaining to the Borrower and/or all guarantors as is consistent with the Bank’s policies and practices from time to time in effect. 
 11.15 Limitation of Interest and Other Charges. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Bank does not intend to charge and the
Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount of interest  

  

 -15- 

 
or other fees or charges that is in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law. Any payment in excess of such maximum shall be refunded to the
Borrower or credited against principal, at the option of the Bank. It is the express intent hereof that the Borrower not pay and the Bank not receive, directly or indirectly, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid under applicable law
including the usury laws in force in the state of Rhode Island.

 [Signature Page to Loan Agreement]Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between Jay Freeland

 Exhibit 10.1 
 AMENDMENT TO 
 THE FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. 
 AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT 
 BETWEEN FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC. AND JAY FREELAND 
 THIS AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) to the Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement between FARO Technologies, Inc. and Jay Freeland, dated as of November 7, 2008 (the “Agreement”) was made and entered into this 2nd day of April, 2009. 
 1. The Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 2.6 in its entirety and replacing it with the following: 
 “Section 2.6 Change of Control means the occurrence of any one of the following events: 
 (a) individuals who, on the effective date of the Agreement, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority of the Board or other governing body or entity of the Company, its successor or survivor, provided that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the effective date of the Agreement but prior to any change of control,
whose election or nomination for election was approved or recommended by a vote of a majority of the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of the Company in which such individual is
named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination), shall be an Incumbent Director; provided, however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of the Company as a result of an actual or threatened
election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any Person other than the Board shall be deemed to be an Incumbent Director; 
 (b) any Person is or becomes an owner or beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 40% or more of the combined
voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that the event described in this subsection (b) shall not be
deemed to be a Change of Control by virtue of any of the following acquisitions: (i) by the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any Subsidiary,
(iii) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, (iv) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in subsection (c) below), (v) pursuant to any acquisition by the
Executive or any group of Persons including the Executive (or any entity controlled by the Executive or any group of Persons including the Executive), or (vi) through a transaction (other than one described in subsection (c) below) in
which Company Voting Securities are acquired from the Company, if a majority of the Incumbent Directors approve a resolution providing expressly that the acquisition pursuant to this clause (vi) does not constitute a Change of Control under
this subsection (b); 
 (c) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, reorganization, sale of all or
substantially all the Company’s assets or similar form of corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of
securities in the transaction (a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (i) at least 50% of the total voting power of the corporation or other entity resulting from, or succeeding to the
interests of the Company in, such Business Combination (or, if applicable, 

 
the ultimate parent entity that has the power to elect a majority of the directors of such corporation or other entity) (the “Surviving
Corporation”) is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to
such Business Combination), and such voting power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination,
(ii) no Person (other than any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Corporation) is or becomes the owner or beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 40% or more of the total voting power of the
outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the Surviving Corporation, and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation following the consummation of the Business Combination
were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination; any Business Combination which satisfies all of the criteria specified in (i), (ii) and
(iii) above shall be deemed to be a “Non-Qualifying Transaction” and any Business Combination which does not satisfy all of the criteria specified in (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be deemed a “Qualifying
Transaction”; or 
 (d) the shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change of Control shall not be deemed to occur solely because any Person acquires beneficial ownership of more than
40% of the Company Voting Securities as a result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company or its Affiliates which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities outstanding; provided, that if after the consummation of such
acquisition by the Company such Person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such Person, a Change of Control of the Company
shall then occur. 
 For purposes of this Change of Control definition, “corporation” shall include any limited liability company,
partnership, association, business trust and similar organization, and “board of directors” shall refer to the ultimate governing body of such organization and “director” shall refer to any member of such governing body.”

 2. The Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new Section 2.14: 
 “Section 2.14 Subsidiary means any corporation or other entity in which the Company has a direct or indirect ownership interest of 50% or more
of the total combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities or interests of such corporation or other entity entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (or members of any similar governing body) or in which the Company has the
right to receive 50% or more of the distribution of profits or 50% of the assets or liquidation or dissolution.” 
 3. Except as
expressly amended hereby, the terms of the Agreement shall be and remain unchanged and the Agreement as amended hereby shall remain in full force and effect.
