Risks and Contingencies: The agreement includes customary covenants restricting asset encumbrance and mergers. Events of Default include failure to pay principal or interest, covenant breaches, incorrect representations, acceleration of Material Debt, bankruptcy, judgments over $300 million, or a change in control.
Important Facts for Investor Verification

- Review the full text of the 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific covenant details regarding asset encumbrance and merger restrictions.
