Under the amended agreement, NN will not permit consolidated funded debt to exceed 60% of consolidated total capitalization on the restatement closing date through June 29, 61% of consolidated total capitalization on June 30 through Sept. 29, 2010, 62% of consolidated total capitalization on Sept. 30, 2010 through March 30, 2011, 61% of consolidated total capitalization on March 30, 2011 through June 29, 2011 and 60% of consolidated total capitalization thereafter, according to a form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Also, the leverage ratio must not be greater than:
