Investor Verification Checklist

• Verify the Company's current leverage ratio to ensure compliance with the new 4.00 to 1.00 covenant.
• Review the full text of Exhibit 10.1 (Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) for specific definitions of leverage and exceptions.
• Confirm the Company's current credit ratings with S&P and Moody's to determine the applicable interest rate margin.
• Assess the impact of the refinancing on the Company's liquidity position and future debt service obligations.
