- Permitted refinancing of existing debt.
- Funding potential acquisitions.
- Verify the specific terms of the modified financial covenants in Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 to assess future compliance requirements.
- Confirm the interest rate structure and fees associated with the amended facilities, as these are not detailed in the summary text.
