The Amendment also (i) provides for the suspension of the testing of the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant in the ABL Credit Facility that is otherwise applicable during certain financial covenant testing periods at any time when the regular “Seasonal Overadvance (Type B)” conditions or the “Seasonal Overadvance (Type C)” conditions are satisfied, and (ii) provides for the suspension of the testing of the minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA covenant that is otherwise applicable during certain financial covenant testing periods at any time when the regular “Seasonal Overadvance (Type B)” conditions and the “Seasonal Overadvance (Type C)” conditions are not satisfied.
