To secure the indebtedness under the facility, Gencor and its subsidiaries have granted Agent security interests in all of the acquired companies and their assets. The credit agreement contains certain restrictions and covenants which may be waived by the Agent. The restrictions and covenants contain a prohibition generally on mergers, consolidations and acquisitions; a prohibition generally on the sale or transfer of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; a prohibition generally on the financing of additional indebtedness; certain restrictions on permissible investments, capital expenditures and leases; and certain covenants regarding Gencor's compliance with certain financial ratios - (e.g. EBIDTA, total debt and interest expense).
