- Covenants: The Indenture requires compliance with asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and mandates the provision of financial information if the Company ceases to be subject to Exchange Act reporting requirements.
- Change of Control: Upon a "change of control repurchase event," the Company must offer to purchase the Notes at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest.
- Redemption: The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at its option at redemption prices set forth in the Indenture.
