Investor Verification Checklist
- Review the full text of the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific conditions attached to the increased asset disposition and capital lease limits.
- Verify the impact of excluding earn-out obligations from "Indebtedness" on the Company's leverage ratios and covenant compliance.
- Confirm the identity of the lenders and the administrative agent (Jefferies Finance, LLC) to assess counterparty risk.
