- Review the full Note Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for detailed covenant definitions and thresholds.
- Confirm the impact of the revolving credit facility paydown on the Company's overall liquidity and available borrowing capacity.
- Assess the Company's current Funded Indebtedness to EBITDA ratio to ensure compliance with the new covenant.
