The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other covenants and conditions, including, among other things, minimum liquidity requirements of not less than $7,500,000 as of the end of any fiscal month and a maximum senior net leverage ratio of not less than 2.50:1.00 as of the last day of each fiscal quarter. In addition, the Loan Agreement places restrictions on the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness or prepay existing indebtedness, to create liens or other encumbrances, to sell or otherwise dispose of assets, to merge or consolidate with other entities, and to make certain restricted payments, including payments of dividends to shareholders. The Company also pays a monthly fee at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the average daily unused amount of the credit facility for the previous month.
