In connection with the Company’s Loan and Security Agreement, the Company entered into the first amendment on November 9, 2020, whereby the Company can request advances under a revolving line of credit.

If these conditions are not met, the interest remains at 3.70%. The revised terms of the agreement became effective April 1, 2021. The aforementioned agreement includes reporting, financial covenants and certain restrictive covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, limit the Company’s ability to sell assets, incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments and other distributions, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, change the nature of our business and place liens on our or our subsidiaries’ assets.
