On September 17, 2024 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), the Company, the Borrower and each of the subsidiary guarantors of the Facilities entered into Amendment No. 4 to Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment” and the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by the Fourth Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), with each of the lenders party thereto and the Administrative Agent.

require aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans to be no greater than $100,000,000 on or prior to September 30, 2025;

 

revise the mandatory prepayment provisions regarding asset sales;

 

amend the following financial maintenance covenants: (i) the Total Net Leverage Ratio on the last day of any test period shall not exceed 10.00:1.00, (ii) the Interest Coverage Ratio on the last day of any test period shall be no less than 1.00:1.00 and (iii) at no time shall Liquidity be less than $60,000,000; and

 

amend certain provisions related to Borrowing Base, including specific treatment for certain assets in the calculation of Borrowing Base.
