The Company must maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a leverage ratio below a specified level.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific "applicable rate" margins added to LIBO/EURIBO or the Base Rate, as these are not detailed in the summary text.
- Review the specific thresholds for the required fixed charge coverage ratio and leverage ratio in the full Credit Agreement (Exhibit 10.1).
- Confirm the current utilization of the facility and any outstanding letters of credit or swing-line loans.
- Assess the impact of the lien on all company property on future financing flexibility.
