The reason for beeping to 105% is for additional energy, and also to improve the rotor efficiency following the engine failure. In the emergency procedure section of the Cat A procedure for engine failure after takeoff from an elevated helipad, there are words to the effect that 'do not lower collective. when following the limitations of weight, etc. for this procedure, the same collective position as used for the departure will ensure the rotor does not droop below limits.'
