Additional availability will be provided under the facility by eliminating the existing term loan reserve and by including availability based on domestic inventory and international accounts receivable and inventory. Export-Import Bank of the United States will provide support for the loans based on the international accounts receivable and international inventory. Finally, the covenant to maintain a minimum Adjusted Quick Ratio will be reduced to 1.10:1.00 from 1.20:1.00.

The documentation governing the existing credit facility will be amended or amended and restated to reflect the terms set forth in the Commitment Letter and usual and customary documentation relating to the facility will be executed and delivered by the Company and the Bank.
