Credit Agreement and Security Agreement The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. On March 23, 2022, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment (the "Sixth Amendment") to the Credit Agreement and the Second Amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the Export Credit Agreement with its lender. The total collateral at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $21,646 and $22,711, respectively, and the revolving commitment was $35,000 for both periods. Total availability at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 was $8,130 and $9,403, respectively, which exceeds both the collateral and total commitment threshold. Since the availability was greater than 10.0% of the revolving commitment as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, no covenant calculations were required. The Company has a letter of credit balance of $1,970 as of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of February 19, 2024. The Sixth Amendment amends the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) revise the fixed coverage ratio to exclude the first $1,500 of unfunded capital expenditures through April 20, 2023, (ii) increase the letter of credit sub-limit from $2,000 to $3,000, (iii) modify the reference rate from the London interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") to the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") and (iv) revise the property, plant and equipment component of the borrowing base under the Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment amends the Export Credit Agreement to replace the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR under the Export Credit Agreement. The revolving credit agreement (or "revolver"), as amended, has a rate based on SOFR plus a 2.25% spread, which was 6.5% at December 31, 2022 and a rate based on LIBOR plus a 2.25% spread, which was 4.9% at September 30, 2022. The Export Credit Agreement as amended has a rate based on SOFR plus a 1.75% spread, which was 6.0% at December 31, 2022 and a rate based on LIBOR plus a 1.75% spread, which was 4.4% at September 30, 2022. The Company also has a commitment fee of 0.25% under the Credit Agreement as amended to be incurred on the unused balance of the revolver. On February 6, 2023, the Company received a Notice of Event of Default and Reservation of Rights (the “Notice”) from its Lender, with respect to (i) that certain Credit Agreement dated as of August 8, 2018; and (ii) that certain Export Credit Agreement dated as of December 17, 2018. The Notice indicated that the Loan Parties to the Credit Agreements have informed Lender of the occurrence of Events of Defaults under the Credit Agreements as a result of the failure to deliver the required Borrowing Base Certificates thereunder and other Events of Default. The Notice indicated further that Lender is in the process of evaluating the Existing Defaults and reserves all of its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreements and any other Loan Documents with respect thereto. The failure by the Company to provide timely borrowing base certificates and monthly financial reports for the periods of December 2022, January 2023 and February 2023 in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreements were a result of information access limitations experienced due to the cybersecurity incident that occurred on December 30, 2022. As a secondary default, the Company failed to maintain a FCCR not less than 1.1 to 1.0 for the periods of December 2022, January 2023, February 2023 and March 2023. The secondary default voided the availability spring minimum threshold and triggered the FCCR covenant compliance. See Note 12, Commitments & Contingencies. On April 28, 2023, the Company and its subsidiary guarantors entered into a Forbearance Agreement (the "Forbearance Agreement") with J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. in respect to the Event of Default under the Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, during the forbearance period defined therein: (i) the Reserves under the Borrowing Base in the ABL Credit Agreement are reduced to $2,000; (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Exposure under the ABL Credit Agreement and Export Revolving Loan may not at any time exceed the lesser of $19,000 and the Borrowing Base.

Interest rates on foreign borrowings are based on Euribor rates, which range from 0.5% to 5.6%. The Company's Maniago, Italy ("Maniago") location obtained borrowings from one lender in the first three months of fiscal 2022. The loan was for $1,141 with repayment terms of six years. Under the terms of the borrowing, repayments are made quarterly in the amount of $56, beginning on December 31, 2022. The Company factors receivables from one of its customers. The Company accounts for the pledge of receivables under this agreement as short-term debt and continues to carry the receivables on its consolidated condensed balance sheets. Debt issuance costs The Company had debt issuance costs of $86, which are included in the consolidated condensed balance sheets as a deferred charge in other current assets, net of amortization of $53 and $46 at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022, respectively. Other On April 10, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The PPP Loan had an aggregate principal amount of $5,025. The loan proceeds were used for payroll payments and the SBA granted full forgiveness on January 25, 2022. The Company elected to treat the PPP Loan as debt under FASB Topic 470. As such, the Company derecognized the liability in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 when the loan was forgiven. As of December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022 the PPP loan balance was $0.
