Any help is welcome.

Leverage definitely has come down. Almost in all cases, equity commitment greater than 50% from the sponsor is required. Pricing really depends on the credit and viability of the business, but again definitely higher than the pasts.
Equity committments over of 50%? That seems pretty high. Looking at some recent trends in mid-market, equity has been about 40% of total capitalization over the last few quarters.
Leverage is about 2.5 to 3.0x total. A lot of the first lien debt is now being structureed as ABL instead of cash flow due to the lower rates, but you do not get as much leverage.
Mezz is coming in between 1.0 and 1.5x, depending with 12-14% cash pay 2-3% PIK and warrants of 1-2%; a lot of deals are a mix and match between the three, i.e. 12% cash pay 2 PIK and 2% warrants.
You better have a damn good business model (or pay through the nose) if you want to get mezz debt. As ambitioner said, leverage above 3.5 turns or so is tough to get. Most term loan B's for B/BB credits coming in around L+600, maybe a bit higher/lower depending on story, with 3% floor.
