- Review the full text of the Credit Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific definitions of ARR and EBITDA used in covenants.
- Confirm the Company's current liquidity position relative to the new minimum liquidity covenant.
- Assess the impact of the new debt service obligations on future cash flows.
