- Letters of Credit Sublimit: Increased to $15.0 million.

Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The Amendment significantly altered the Company's credit terms compared to the prior agreement:
- Term Loan Capacity: Increased from an original $35.0 million term loan to a new facility of up to $75.0 million.
- Maturity Extension: The Revolving Credit Line maturity date was extended from August 1, 2023, to March 1, 2027.
- Repayment Terms: The 2022 Term Loans require interest-only payments until April 1, 2025, followed by 24 equal monthly installments, with full maturity on March 1, 2027.
- Interest Rate: Set at a floating rate equal to the greater of (A) Prime Rate plus 0.25% or (B) 3.50% for both the Term Loans and Revolving Credit Line.
- Fees: Prepayment fees range from 3.0% to 1.0% depending on the date; a final payment of 5.0% of the principal amount is required. An annual fee of 0.15% applies to the Revolving Credit Line.
Guidance, Risks, and Covenants
The filing does not provide forward-looking guidance on revenue or earnings. However, it establishes new financial covenants and risks:
- Financial Covenants: The Company must maintain, as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, either a quick ratio of at least 1.15 to 1.0 or a minimum Adjusted EBITDA of at least $15.0 million.
- Reborrowing Restriction: Once the 2022 Term Loans are repaid or prepaid, they may not be reborrowed.
- Prepayment Risk: Early repayment incurs significant fees (up to 3.0%) plus a mandatory 5.0% final payment.
Important Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the Company's current Adjusted EBITDA and quick ratio to ensure compliance with the new covenants (minimum $15.0 million Adjusted EBITDA or 1.15 quick ratio).
- Confirm the total debt load on the balance sheet reflects the $35.0 million new term loan and the extinguishment of the prior $18.5 million loan.
- Monitor the utilization of the remaining $40.0 million term loan availability and the $25.0 million revolving line.
- Review the impact of the 5.0% final payment fee and potential prepayment penalties on future liquidity planning.
