The Second Amendment, among other things, (a) modifies the conditions for repurchases of the Company’s common stock and certain other restricted payments, including the addition of a 2.5x minimum interest coverage ratio test; (b) reduces availability by $15 million, or if certain conditions are satisfied, by $10 million and, if certain additional conditions are satisfied, such reduction will cease to apply, (c) amends the minimum interest coverage ratio covenant to (i) eliminate the application of the minimum interest coverage ratio covenant for the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2016 and (ii) reduce the minimum interest coverage ratio (A) to 1.0x as of the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2016 through the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2017 and (B) to 1.25x as of the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning with the fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2017 through the fiscal quarter ending October 31, 2018, subject in each case to certain conditions, (d) amends the definition of “EBITDA” to, among other things, reduce the impact of certain permitted securitization transactions and (e) increases the applicable margin on the loans by 25 basis points.
