Among other things, the Fifth Amendment (1) amends the definition of “Base Net Worth” to provide that Base Net Worth will initially be set at $16.2 million dollars; (2) amends the definition of “Borrowing Base Amount” to increase the potential availability of borrowings under the Line of Credit (as defined in the Loan Agreement); (3) amends the definition of “Net Worth” to permit the Company to add back certain non-cash goodwill or intangible asset impairment charges when calculating “Net Worth”; (4) decreases the amount of the Term Loan (as defined in the Loan Agreement) to $1.0 million; and (5) requires the Company to maintain (i) a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of 1.10:1.00 (through September 30, 2013) and 1.20:1.00 (December 31, 2013 and thereafter), (ii) Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of not less than $1,500,000 on a trailing twelve month basis, and (iii) a minimum Net Worth (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of not less than the Base Net Worth.
