- Review the full Term Loan Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific definitions of the financial covenants and leverage ratios.
- Monitor the utilization of the $400.0 million facility and the potential exercise of the $100.0 million accordion feature.
- Assess the impact of the 0.20% commitment fee on future cash flows once the 91-day grace period expires.
