- Review Exhibit 10.1 (Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement) for detailed covenants and financial maintenance requirements.
- Confirm the current utilization rate of the facility to determine the applicable interest rate margin (1.50%–2.00% for Eurodollar or 0.50%–1.00% for Base Rate).
- Check subsequent filings for the Company's actual cash flow and debt levels to understand the impact of this facility expansion on leverage ratios.
