Material Changes Versus Prior Period

- Financial Covenants:
- Maximum Total Leverage Ratio: 2.50 to 1.00.
- Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio: 1.20 to 1.00.
- Security: Obligations are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all tangible and intangible assets, including intellectual property and subsidiary equity interests.
- Restrictions: Negative covenants limit the ability to incur new indebtedness, create liens, engage in fundamental corporate changes, make restricted payments, or dispose of assets without exceptions.
- Default Provisions: In the event of a default, interest rates increase by 2% per annum over the applicable rate.
