ABL Facility
In May 2025, the Company entered into Amendment No. 5 (“Amendment No. 5”) to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "ABL Facility"), which provides the Company with a $125 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility. The ABL Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries, including equity in certain material first-tier foreign subsidiaries. Availability for borrowings under the ABL Facility is governed by a borrowing base, determined by the application of specified advance rates against eligible assets, including a portion of trade accounts receivable, inventory, cash and cash equivalents, and owned machinery and equipment. Amendment No. 5 extended the maturity date of the ABL Facility to May 6, 2030. As of September 30, 2025, funds available to borrow under the ABL Facility was $72.5 million, or 58.0% of the aggregate commitment of $125 million. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company's letters of credit have been reduced from approximately $12 million to $3 million, which directly increases the Company's borrowing availability.
Outstanding borrowings accrue interest at the rates elected by the Company depending on the type of loan and denomination of such borrowing. With respect to revolving loans denominated in U.S. Dollars, the Company may elect interest rates at:
Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) plus the applicable ABR Spread (as defined in the ABL Facility) determined in accordance with an excess availability-based pricing grid. ABR is defined, in part, as the greater of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% and (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (defined below) for a one-month period plus 1%; or
The Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Rate plus the applicable Term Benchmark Spread (as defined in the ABL Facility) determined in accordance with an excess availability-based pricing grid. Adjusted Term SOFR Rate is defined as the Term SOFR Rate plus 0.10%, subject to an initial Floor (as defined in the ABL Facility) of 0%.
As amended by Amendment No. 5, based upon the quarterly average of daily availability under the ABL Facility, the interest rate pricing grid, is as follows:

≤ 33% of $125 million aggregate commitment225.0125.0
Pursuant to Amendment No. 5, the commitment fee was decreased from 0.40% to (i) 0.25% if the Average Usage (as defined in the ABL Facility) is greater than or equal to 50% and (ii) 0.375% if Average Usage is less than 50%.
The borrowing base calculation was amended by Amendment No. 5 as follows: (i) real property is no longer eligible to be included in the borrowing base, (ii) the PP&E Component (as defined in the ABL Facility), as included in the borrowing base, was decreased to the lesser of (a) 60% of the Net Orderly Liquidation Value (as defined in the ABL Facility) in place of eligible equipment and (b) 30% of the borrowing base and (iii) the amount of eligible cash included in the borrowing base is now capped at 15% of the borrowing base.
The financial covenant is a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the ABL Facility) of 1.00:1.00 that will be triggered in the event that availability is less than the greater of (x) 10% of the Line Cap (as defined in the ABL Facility) and (y) $10 million and will continue until availability is equal to or greater than the greater of (x) 10% of the Line Cap and (y) $10 million for 30 consecutive days, as long as no events of default are continuing.
If at any time the availability under the ABL facility is less than the greater of (x) 20% of the Line Cap and (y) $20 million and until such subsequent date, if any, on which availability is greater than the greater of (x) 20% of the Line Cap and (y) $20 million for a period of thirty (30) consecutive calendar days, the Company’s current monthly reporting requirements to lenders changes to a weekly cadence.
A Cash Dominion Period (as defined in the ABL Facility) is now triggered when (x) availability falls below the greater of (i) 12.5% of the Line Cap and (ii) $12.6 million or (y) during the continuation of an event of default and continuing until (x) availability is above the greater of (i) 12.5% of the Line Cap and (ii) $12.6 million for 30 consecutive days and (y) no events of default are continuing. During a Cash Dominion Period, receipts that have not yet been applied to the ABL Facility are classified as restricted cash in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
The ABL Facility has customary representations and warranties including, as a condition to each borrowing, that all such representations and warranties are true and correct in all material respects (including a representation that no Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the ABL Facility) has occurred since December 31, 2024). In the event that the Company cannot certify that all conditions to the borrowing have been met, the lenders can restrict the Company’s future borrowings under the ABL Facility.
In accordance with the ABL Facility, the lenders have been provided with the Company’s financial statements, covenant compliance certificates and projections to facilitate their ongoing assessment of the Company. Accordingly, the Company believes the likelihood that lenders would exercise the subjective acceleration clause whereby prohibiting future borrowings is remote. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
