• No mandatory prepayments required except for excess borrowings, providing operational flexibility
• Amendment to Term Loan Credit Agreement increases certain baskets and thresholds, potentially allowing for greater operational flexibility

Negative

• Removal of interest coverage ratio covenant from Term Loan Credit Agreement could indicate potential concerns about interest expense coverage
• Current outstanding obligations of $661,639.40 were paid to terminate the existing credit facility
