Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full text of Amendment No. 11 (Exhibit 10.1) to confirm no hidden covenants or fee changes despite the "substantially same terms" statement.
- Confirm the current status of the $70 million facility in subsequent filings to ensure no borrowings were drawn post-March 17, 2005.
- Review the company's liquidity position in the most recent 10-Q or 10-K to understand the necessity of the extension relative to cash flow.
- Check for any subsequent 8-K filings regarding the credit facility prior to the new September 30, 2006 expiration.
