Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the company's actual net worth as of the filing date to ensure compliance with the $165.0 million temporary threshold.
- Monitor the status of negotiations for further debt reduction and covenant adjustments.
- Confirm the total outstanding debt balance across all facilities, as this filing only covers the Natixis facility.
- Review the full text of the Master Repurchase Agreement and the March 13, 2009 Letter Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific default conditions.
