- Review the full text of the Note Purchase Agreement and Supplemental Indentures for specific limitations on the asset coverage covenants.
- Confirm the Company's current credit rating status and the specific rating agency definitions in the Indenture.
- Assess the impact of the increased interest expense (from 4.875% to 7.50%/7.75%) on future cash flows and earnings.
