- Customary events of default include nonpayment, bankruptcy, covenant breaches, and material adverse effects.
- Lenders under the Company’s previously disclosed credit facilities waived restrictions that might otherwise have prevented entry into the SBA loans.
- Identified risks include changes in governmental guidance, financial market conditions, compliance with loan and CARES Act terms, and the Company’s use of proceeds.

Investor Verification Points

- Confirm how proceeds were used and whether the Company applied for or received forgiveness.
- Review payment performance beginning in November 2020 and the impact on liquidity and existing credit facilities.
- Check subsequent filings for changes to SBA guidance, forgiveness eligibility, covenant compliance, or events of default.
- Review the attached promissory notes for detailed covenants, default provisions, and repayment terms.
