Full Description of Material Change

On August 29, 2018, the Company entered into the Credit Agreement with BMO and the Lenders to establish the Credit Facility. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility will be secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the personal property and assets of the Company.

The Credit Facility has a three year term. Under the Credit Facility, the Company has access to an aggregate of up to $200 million in funds that are available as follows: (i) a $50 million revolving credit facility (“Facility A”); and (ii) a $150 million non-revolving facility (“Facility B”).

Facility A accrues interest and standby fees at variable rates based on borrowing elections by the Company and the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA as described below. Advances under Facility A are required to be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate requirements. Facility A requires interest only monthly payments and a final principal payment due upon maturity of the Credit Facility.

Facility B accrues interest and standby fees at variable rates based on borrowing elections by the Company and the Company’s Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio as described below. Under the payment terms for Facility B, each draw will amortize quarterly beginning the first full quarter post initial draw. Advances under Facility B are also required to be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate requirements.

The Credit Agreement also requires that the Company comply with certain customary non-financial covenants and restrictions. In addition, the Company has agreed to comply with the following financial covenants at all times, which are to be calculated on a rolling four quarter basis: (i) maximum Total Funded Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to EBITDA of 3.00:1; and (ii) minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of 1.25:1.
