Revised the Debt Service Coverage Ratio to not less than (i) 1.10 to 1.00 at all times during the first, second and third fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2015, (ii) 1.25 to 1.00 at all times during the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2015 and the first and second fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2016, and (iii) 1.50 to 1.00 at all times thereafter.

   

 

Added the requirements that the Company maintain a minimum Net Profit of not less than $1.00 for at least one of any two consecutive fiscal quarters, starting with the third fiscal quarter of 2016 (for the second and third fiscal quarters of 2016) and a minimum Net Profit of not less than $1.00 for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending, starting with the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 (for the fiscal year 2015).

   

 

Added the requirement the Company will not exceed $25,000,000 in Capital Expenditures in any fiscal year.

   

 

Included as security for indebtedness under Credit Agreement a security interest in, among other things, all of the personal property and revised to include all Real Property of the Company and its subsidiaries(other than the Excluded Assets (as defined therein)).

 

The foregoing description of the Amendment is a general description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, filed as an exhibit hereto.
