Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement
On December 20, 2005, Core Laboratories N.V. and certain of its subsidiaries, amended its Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (henceforth referred to as the "Amended Credit Agreement") with various financial institutions which are or may become parties to the Amended Credit Agreement (collectively, the "Lenders"), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent for the Lenders and as a letter of credit issuing bank, and Bank of America, N.A. as syndication agent for the Lenders and as a letter of credit issuing bank. The Amended Credit Agreement increases the aggregate borrowing commitment under the existing credit facility from $75 million to $125 million, extends the maturity date of the facility from March 24, 2010 to December 20, 2010 and provides for lower borrowing costs as defined in the amended agreement. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement provides an option to increase the commitment under the credit facility to $175 million, if certain conditions are met.
The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Credit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.35 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
