Under the Line of Credit Agreement, borrowings in excess of $1.0 million are subject to a borrowing base which is calculated based off a specific level of eligible accounts receivable of the waste management business as defined in the agreement. No amounts were drawn under the Line of Credit Agreement at May 31, 2018.

Outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit Agreement bear interest at Prime Rate plus .25%. At May 31, 2018, the interest rate on the Line of Credit Agreement was 5.00%.
